U-Bassers I want to give you a heads up about a fantastic inexpensive, small portable combo - the Blackline Fly3. For $109, you get a battery operated bass combo that gets good sound and is adequate for accompanying up to about 15 acoustic uke players. It weighs about 2 pounds.
Blackline came out with the Fly 3 guitar combo about a year ago and it is been a huge hit. They just came out with the Bass combo.
A few things are important. They sell a kit that includes the main combo, an expansion cabinet and an AC adapter for $109. They also sell the main combo with no adapter for $69. In my view the real value is the kit and you will need the two speakers to get the good sound. The main combo is 3 amps and when the speakers are joined you get 6 amps. You also get more depth of sound with the two speakers. Just the combo itself is no better than a 3 watt vox amp.
I find that the quality of the bass tone is comparable to the Yamaha THR 10 on the bass setting with a little more dimension and volume.
I own or have owned just about every possible battery powered small amp option. None of them is perfect. Don't expect to rattle the foundations with this tiny amp. Don't expect to play outdoors beyond a very small circle. But within its limitations this is a fantastic amp.
