Blackstar FLY 3 Bass Mini Bass Amp - 3W Portable Bass Practice Amp

The Blackstar FLY 3 Bass is a compact 3-watt bass practice amp designed for home practice, quiet playing, travel, warm-ups and everyday bass use without needing a full-size bass rig.

It also includes a line input for playing along with music and an emulated headphone/line output for silent practice or basic recording.

Finished in classic black, it is a practical, portable bass amp for beginners, students and players who want something small and easy to use.

What does it actually sound like?
For a mini bass amp, the Blackstar FLY 3 Bass is designed to give a fuller sound than you might expect from a small speaker. The Sub control helps add the feel of extra low-end, while the EQ lets you shape the midrange from fairly flat to a more scooped bass tone.

The clean channel works well for everyday practice, while the overdrive channel gives you a more driven sound for rockier bass lines or experimenting with gain at lower volume.

Who is it for?
The Blackstar FLY 3 Bass is ideal for bass players who want a simple, portable practice amp that does not take up much space. It is a good option for beginners, home practice, travelling musicians, students, backstage warm-ups, or anyone who wants a small amp for playing quietly without setting up a larger bass combo.

It is also useful if you want to practise with headphones, play along to tracks from a phone or laptop, or record simple ideas using the emulated output.

Not sure if this is right?
If you need a louder amp for rehearsals, lessons with other players, or small gigs, a larger bass combo may be more suitable. If you mainly need something compact for home use, travel, quiet practice and quick playing sessions, the FLY 3 Bass is a practical choice.
