Review: Best portable bass amp, epic sound and battery life!! BUY ONE!!! - 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!!!!
Review: Great - 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!

## Features

- Silent Practice & Home Recording FLY 3 also features Emulated Line Out, perfect for ‘silent’ practice or home recordings, keep your Blackstar tone no matter the volume.
- Sub Control The Sub control sets the level of a harmonic generator. This produces an additional low frequency tone that is mixed in with the normal signal. It gives the perception of increased low-end girth and incredible bass from a mini amp.
- Science in the Detail Countless hours were spent on the design of the cabinet to achieve a sonic performance not normally found in a mini amp. The housing is sealed and tuned to ensure optimum tonal response and the material used has been mathematically modelled to have the Young’s Modulus of wood. This retains the bass response usually associated with a wooden cabinet
- Long Battery Life Under normal playing condition the FLY 3 Bass lasts for 55hrs of performance time on a single set of AA batteries.
- EQ Control The EQ control allows you to adjust the depth of the EQ curve for preferred tonal response, from relatively flat with a slight mid-range boost, through to a formed mid response with a cut at around 400Hz. The depth of mid-range cut is continuously variable between the two extremes. You will find that the combination of the two channels and the carefully voiced EQ result in a huge range of great bass tones.
- Compression Control COMPRESSION is used to subtly smooth out the dynamic range of an audio signal, therefore softening the peaks and attack, as well as boosting the volume of lower levels which then increases sustain. The compression ratio of the in-built compressor is variable so you can dial in exactly the response you want.
- Gain Control The Gain control adjusts the preamp instrument level and also the amount of overdrive. When the Clean Channel is selected, low to medium settings will deliver a clean sound and as the Gain is increased the sound will gradually become more overdriven. When the Overdrive channel is selected (OD switch) there will be moderate overdrive at all Gain settings, which again increases as the control is turned clockwise.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Really? david bowie's album name and logo? how's this possible???**
A: We love Bowie too, but Blackstar started in 2007, long before his 2016 album.

**Q: I have a question. The model Specified on this page is for bass guitar???**
A: Yes, it is specified for bass guitar. The compressor is useful for something this small being used for bass and actually at low volumes reproduces low B better than expected.

**Q: Please tell me, does the ⅛" imput socket on the amplifier's top (described as an MP3 input "for jamming along") accept and play an analog/mic signal?**
A: No, it's line  level input socket. You can't connect microphone directly to the line level input socket. You need a microphone pre-amplifier for that. As soon your microphone is amplified ( using an optional mic pre-amp) you can connect it to that "MP3" line level socket.

**Q: Can this be used during a parade for portable usage?**
A: It is better used inside, but it can be used for a parade.  You may have to mic it.  Not sure if it would be loud enough without.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy with this product.
*by A***R on 21 March 2017*

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.
