Blackstar Fly 3 Bass Guitar Portable Battery 3 Watt Powered Mini Amp MP3 Line In & Headphone Line Out

Probably one of the best little bass amps I’ve ever used. The two things I’ve taken away from using this amp that amazes me, are the sound quality and how long it lasts on 6 AA batteries. Honestly, the sound quality is amazing.. I have a fender rumble 100w .. it’s on par with that easily, it actually sounds like a bass should. I have another vox pathfinder amp, and you compare the sound quality with this little amp .. it’s so much better. The battery life is crazy, I still haven’t changed the batteries and I’ve literally been using it every week for hours on end .. it’s been about 4 months!!! Absolutely amazing. For the price, just buy it... it’s great for indoor us, and outdoor. My mate bought the guitar version and we’ve taken these outside and jammed, they’re definitely loud enough to busk too. Brilliant. Get one!!!!

Excellent product. I have big amps and small amps for guitars and bass and recently purchased two fly 3 amps for my electro acoustic guitar and mic. Using them with the little additional extension cabinate. Great sound unlike other belt clip on amps and mini amps I had in the past that very quickly lost any quality that they did have. I use these fly 3's for acoustic jams, with an sm58 mic into one of them just to project my singing a little more. Obviously not for gigs. The bass amp is great too and I mainly wanted this to give my fretless acoustic bass a tad more projection. Does the job. Wouldn't use it to turn up loud as the nature of the lower frequency it doesn't work so amazingly very loud. Recommended if using as I am, to slightly amplify acoustic jams etc but not gigs although may be great too for busking. Try it!

Good product...although dialling in a good tone initially took a while and some trial and error.I bought this for hotel room practice and for that it is perfect as I have to consider other hotel guests but unamplified bass is just too quiet .Where this comes into its own is when you play audio source and your bass into it .Using a half decent pair of over the ear headphones...the sound blends together nicely when you are laying bass over the songs you are playing over the top of.

Wouldn't work in the Albert Hall but perfect for practicing and small environments like folk clubs. be realistic and don't expect too much and it won't annoy the neighbours but this is probably the best out there for its size - it's dinky. You'll need rechargeable batteries. I use it to boost an acoustic bass at folk sessions.

Stonking little amp better than something twice the size and runs off batteries nice and lite , great sound,,

After reading many reviews here and across the internet, I thought this was the perfect solution for me - my main amplifiers aren't in the house and I needed something compact and not too loud in order to practice. Unfortunately, as soon as I plugged my bass in and started playing, the sound was terrible - lots of hissing and background noise accompanying every note I played. I initially thought that it was on the overdrive channel, but turns out this was the clean channel. Thinking it might be my bass, I tried with another 2 of my basses - same result. Maybe it's the cable? After trying with 3 other cables, I was still getting the same distorted, hissing sound in the background. Turning the gain down and keeping the volume at below 2 seemed to get rid of the hissing, but the actual sound of the amp was nearly inaudible. Product has since been returned to Amazon and I bit the bullet and brought my main practice amp back home. Would not recommend.

Good sound for the size, people saying no low end but what do you expect from a 3" speaker, I like it because I can take outside and relax with

I will divide this abbreviated review into two sections. Section one: 1) HEADPHONES. I give a small star for onboard electronics while using headphones. Overdrive, tone, subwoofer, gain works. Compressor extremely hissy, chokey and unstable, and erratic. It may work for some as a headphone amp. However, it may not make sense to have such a bulky headphone amp that takes 6 1.5V batteries. 2) THE SPEAKER. What the f**** is that??!! £60??!!! Blackstar, are you trying to knock off a thirty quid from us or so? Blackstar, you are undermining your reputation with this product. This is utter rubbish and can not compete with a guitar version in any respect. Another small star I add for the possibility of a quick return. Honestly, £30 it's the maximum I could cough up for that quasi amp. Returned.

大きいアンプとは比べても仕方がない。これだけの小ささでこれだけの音が出れば十分。居間などでちょっと練習するなどの手軽さで、練習の機会が増える。ベースらしい音は出るので教則本練習などでの音の確認には十分使える。ニッカド電池で駆動しているが、結構電池の持ちはよい。小さい取っ手があると便利だと思う。

Es muy bueno, se escucha muy fuerte para su tamaño, de hecho me sorprendió su sonido para ser tan pequeño, es perfecto para llevarlo a campamentos, la playa o en algún viaje, suena bastante bien, muy buen ampli

Es un ampli sencillo, sólo 3 vatios de potencia, y con un sonido aceptable. La mayor ventaja de este amplificador es su tamaño ya que puedes llevarle a todas partes sin ningún problema, ya que también pesa muy poco. Cuenta con un canal de overdrive que puede venir bien según qué situaciones, una EQ con un sonido decente que tiene como extra un potenciometro de "Sub" para potenciar las frecuencias más graves. Lo que menos me convence es el compresor, que para mi gusto no suena muy bien y sus opciones son más bien limitadas. El ampli también cuenta con entrada auxiliar y salida de cascos, muy utiles para ensayar por ejemplo. En resumen, un amplificador más que recomendable ya que por su bajo precio tienes un amplificador para ensayar que puedes llevar a todas partes. En cuanto al envío fue fácil y rápido, sin ningún problema.

Très petit HP donc on est loin d'un "vrai" ampli mais la restitution d'un son d'une guitare basse reste plus correct qu'avec un haut parleur non-dedié basse même si ce n'est toujours pas ça... Le volume est suffisant pour jouer seul mais un peu limite pour jouer avec une guitare acoustique Les contrôles sont pas terrible: -OD et compresseur inutilisables -Gain et EQ sont à ajuster pour extraire un bon son suffisamment fort et non pas un choix pour chercher un son voulu La finition est très plastique, très cheap et n'inspire pas beaucoup de confiance pour balader sans souci au fond d'un sac Line in et du marketing qui suggère qu'il peut être utiliser comme un HP musique mais le son est mauvais Nécessite 6piles AA (rechargeable c'est mieux) mais tient en autonomie =>Le concept est top et peut faire un job pour des usages/attentes bien précis mais on atteint rapidement ses limites Dommage car quelques modification de conception (quelques décibel de plus, contrôles simples utilisable, boîtier plus robuste, alim/batterie rechargeable) et ça sera une tuerie

When I turned it on, I could not believe my ears. All I could hear is just a high volume noise. Then it turned out that I have to plug something into the MP3 Line In, then the base noise went down significantly. I think the amp is not isolated correctly. Anyhow, there is one combination of settings, when it makes a sound from which I can at least recognize that it is a bass guitar (not kidding): Gain: 2 Overdrive: Off Depth: 6 Compression: 0 Volume: 5 And even with these settings, I have to mute my bridge pickup completely. P.S.: As I am writing this now, it started to sound some scratching noise. I am very disappointed.
