Blackstar

I did hear that the Bass designer was ex Trace and Peavey. 
 

I would like to try the Unity700H but they are out of stock at Absolute Music, my store.

The Blackstar is nice but I decided on the Fender Rumble 100.

Hey everyone!
If anyone’s after info on Blackstar gear, feel free to give me a shout.
I’ve got pretty much every Unity amp here at my studio in Milton Keynes, I’m on Blackstar’s artist roster, and I’ve been gigging and recording with their amps for years, happy to share first-hand experience or answer any questions.

Since you're round the corner from them in MK, is there any news from Blackstar about whether there's updates coming to the Unity range? As I mentioned in my little "review" earlier in this thread, there's lots to like but a load of little niggles (no mute/standby switch, fragile toggles, effect controls being on the back, only being able to get the full 700W out of the U700 head into 2.67ohms) - these all seem like relatively simple things for them to address. 

 

As I mentioned, I have a Unity combo that I use at home every day and I love it for practising. I'd be far more inclined to invest in the bigger rig if they could address these relatively small issues with it. 

 

Oh, and ditch the cloth grilles.  I bought a bass amp, not a scratching post!
