Blackstar FLY 3 Bass Amp BK 5-stars Reviews

Super travel amp for bass

Great, small amp for portable use. Super sound for the size, and the extra sub-controller gives a very nice bass tone. Get many hours of playing on one set of batteries, and works well with a battery eliminators as well. The distorted channel isn't great, but all in all ,well worth the money.

Excellent for its price

Small in the eye but a great amp for practice. I highly recommend it!

The best bedroom bass amp

I bought this amp to learn playing the bass at home.

I had great experience with the guitar version of the Fly 3, so this amp was definitely on my radar.

After reading comments on various forums I was a bit afraid that the bass wouldn't sound too good with the amp, and for this reason I contemplated purchasing the Yamaha THR10 which supposedly has a bit more punch. I ultimately ended up choosing this model (I admit that the price was an important point to consider), hoping that it would be enough for learning purposes.

Thankfully I made a great choice. The volume is definitely loud enough to fill my apartment. The sound is also pretty good, the deeper bass tones feel very smooth. I also love that it can run on batteries, so I can play wherever I feel like.

Overall I'm very happy with my purchase, I don't think anyone can go wrong with this product.

Great product

Good volume and surprisingly full sound for such a small amp. Good control over the tone, as well. Perfect amp for travel or to use in a block of flats, where bigger, stronger amps would get you kicked out :D

A Wonderful Mobile Bass Amplifier

This amplifier is definitely good for out-door events, busking or practice at home.

It is very compact and lightweight, could be easily put into a gigbag and taken around. With 6 AA fully charged AA batteries, it could last at least 2 hours playing with medium volume.

The sound is louder than I've expected, at least loud enough for playing in an open area with some friends playing guitars at the same time. With 2 channels, and knobs for gain, EQ and compressor, the tone from this amplifier can be quite versatile. However, it is still too quiet playing with a drum kit in a small room, and it lacks some low-end tone. But one cannot expect too much from an amplifier with only 3 watt power.

Tiny groover

I really love it. It has really nice sound for the practice. The effects are sufficient. The best practice amp in its price range. No match. Next stop is five times more expensive nad much bigger. Did I mention it is small?
