Blackstar UNITY Pro Bass Series Webcast - The New Face of Bass

[@sixsentsoldiers]

Oh boy. I see Blackstar being a Bass Force to be reckoned with.

[@SteveBlancoMusicianWarrior]

Good call with that G&L L-2000, one of the sickest basses in existence! These amps look pretty cool.

[@Shenesy1]

I also use my L2000 through a Unity combo!

[@Zigger27]

This looks very interesting. Those tone and voicing options seem very effective and usefull. Looking forward to try one.

[@jdbaumanns]

Thank you Blackstar!!!!! Going online to reserve one!!!!!

[@MzuMzu-nx1em]

I got a unity 30 for Christmass, it's great , deliver what promises in an elegant and high quality design. My compliments, it has the look of an expansive amplifier , really cool

[@ethanlancaster76]

I just grabbed the Unity 250 ACT powered 1x15” extension cab and it sounds really good and very musical for a 15” speaker. It’s also capable of being used as a passive cabinet bypassing the power amp. I’m very pleased with my purchase and I love the way it sounds with my Sansamp RBI splitting the signal between the 15” and a GK 1001RB powering a 4ohm 2x10” Aguilar GS210. Highly recommend this line of Blackstar bass amps and cabs.

[@mattriffmaster]

Hell yes!! This sounds amazing.

[@MzuMzu-nx1em]

I got one the 30 , it's phenomenal and incredibly lightweight

[@Bassbernd99]

This is a very good product announcement. Informativ and with many practicle soundexamples. I am looking forward to play one of those, when they are avaiable.

[@michaelbell75]

These amps are so awesome and versatile, highly underrated. Lots of tones and a ton of volume in the 500. I was all set to buy an Ampeg BA-210 before playing one of these, glad I played it because I much prefer it to the Ampeg.

[@karadordarkraven]

Hurray for a bit of Sisters of Mercy!!!!

[@trance9158]

Wow...impressive...I am looking for a new rig. This now is most likely what I'll be getting. The 210 500 w with 5 way switch and possibly the 115 ext cab. Great system and features all in one package. Honestly I wasn't expecting this much. I'm just blown away.

[@Lukecroydon]

I am so gonna get myself a Unity 250ACT as soon as they land in the shops and pair it with my Dave Hall Amps valve preamp.

[@XscudX]

Guys when are you gonna make a HT overdrive pedal for bass? PLEASE do it with a blend knob!

[@dontpanicblink]

i have unity 30 its a great amp , will soon need the 250 act amp to go with it

[@megatyaesree]

I would love to own one of these amps especially the active cab 250w. I can imagine I can carry it around gigs/jamming. ❤️

[@mattiasjp]

Damn, I want to take these on the road with me. If they have enough power I think one of these babies could save me some serious space in the tour van.

[@jonmatthews4254]

Great sounds, the overdrive just right, everything Blackstar I've ever used has been A1 quality. I would have liked to see an effects system editable through USB and preset storage to your PC similar to the ID guitar amp range.

[@anthonyf4439]

Is the 2x10 500 watts RMS?

[@michaelbell75]

Yes.

[@dave4string]

Great job on the bass combo's but I would love some Head options

[@flying_sheeps]

Yes, a head would be nice!

[@louisbatsford8908]

I hear Gayle “Gums” Malone gives good head?

[@5.0RubyRed]

Warranty in canada? Any service centres? Who is authorized to perform warranty work on them?

[@flying_sheeps]

Please build a beautiful looking head out of the 500, and i will buy one, surely!

[@rus19297]

My only trepidation is how they sound on a 5 and 6 string. Haven't seen a single demo of more than 4. Need to hear the FULL range. If it handles my lower tunings, its a done deal!

[@tannersmall1746]

Todd Russell i tried one out in my local store with an Ernie ball sterling 5 string. Single soapbar. Had it tuned to drop A and it sounded perfect. Growled and clanged and punched and all the adjectives you’d want a bass to do

[@967jack]

what is the the weight on those amps guys?

[@iain2080]

I know it's 6 months later but I ordered one this week and the 500 is 25kg

[@MzuMzu-nx1em]

I got the 30 and is incredibly lightweight, I think around 5 kg

[@iain2080]

@@MzuMzu-nx1em was literally playing on my 500 as you sent this reply. Great amp all around. 5kg sounds lovely the 20kg of the 500 is the only fault I have with it

[@KingPorter]

Honestly it seems to have the same basic sound cross the board. I didn't really hear any versatility. This isn't an amp I would use for versatility. This something that seems like it's just for blues or straight up Rock. It just sounds the same every time he played.

[@louissemilia3964]

Why no actual head? I have cabs, i dont want a combo amp...

[@eveythingthatsadam]

It's in the ethos of keeping everything easy and compact

[@handgunner1911]

when they or anyone comes out with an amplifier better than the american made ampeg svt ill take notice i play out at pretty good size venues and you need power and you need to feel it ampeg drives it home im not feeling it with these amps just my opinion

[@kibbles1053]

I really hate when demos show voicings, or modes, or whatever, and don't play the same thing each time. It really doesn't do a good job of demonstrating the differences between the modes.

[@danielmatlock3040]

Sorry Blackstar, but wasn't thrilled about the amp sounds. Maybe it was his playing I didn't like? I found nothing "creamy" about it.

[@eveythingthatsadam]

Probably that clanky bass he's using with those certain pickups. Try with a p bass and you'll find the cream

[@michaelbell75]

You must not play in live settings much because "creamy" tones that sound great alone in your bedroom get absolutely buried by a drummer and a guitarist with a 100 watt head and 4x12 cab. This amp cuts thru which is what you want. If you want a "creamy" tone, get a Rumble and suffer with a boomy and farty amp that gets buried in a live setting.

[@kibbles1053]

Doesn't sound that great, and this was a garbage demo of the voicings and responses working together. You stayed in one voice for the whole thing. I'm getting the Rootmaster over this.

[@eveythingthatsadam]

You'll be dissapointed
