The ultimate bass amplifier for the professional musician

The Blackstar Unity Bass 500 Watt Bass Combo is the flagship bass from the new Blackstar Unity Pro Bass System Series, offering up a world of tonal options, whilst still remaining entirely easy to use and tweak your sound on the fly.

Tonally versatile

The Blackstar Unity Bass 500 Watt Bass Combo is extremely versatile able to provide players of all genres and styles with the sound that they need to get the job done and sound great doing it! Thanks to Blackstar's unique Response control, you can choose between the sound and feel of three classic power amp stages, shaping compression along with the natural drive and dynamics - you'll really feel the noise with this amp. In addition, the Blackstar Unity Bass 500-Watt Bass Combo features three distinct preamp voicings as well as a 4-band semi-parametric EQ that provides a flexible bass tone as well as unprecedented feel from a solid-state bass amplifier.

Blackstar have also ensured you can dial in a wide variety of tones and thanks to the drive section, you can enjoy 3 overdrives (Overdrive / Distortion / Fuzz) with user-controllable blend. This means you can enjoy high-headroom cleans and go straight to creamy distorted tones to all out fuzz rock when the song calls for it.

500 watts of pure power through 2 x 10" speakers

When you want the ultimate on stage bass amplifier, the Blackstar Unity Bass 500 Watt Bass Combo s the ultimate choice. You have 500 watts of pure power at your disposal pushing air via custom designed Eminence 2 x 10" Opus Speakers - you'll be stage, festival and stadium ready straight out of the box. If that's not enough for you, then you can also expand your sound via the optional Unity 250ACT cab. The Unity 250ACT powered cabinet can be linked to any amp within the Blackstar Unity pro Bass line to add 250W or more of active power to your rig.
