Tiny size, big sound





The FLY 3 Bass combo amplifier exudes frighteningly huge bass tones for its diminutive size. The amplifier's specially designed speaker and speaker cabinet allow the FLY 3 Bass to push enough low end to impress any bassist. And despite being only 3 watts, this little combo amp is also surprisingly loud. Now you won't have to make any tonal compromises when practicing at low volumes. Sweetwater bassists are impressed with this little powerhouse.





Wide tonal range





The FLY 3 Bass works for bassists of all styles and genres. It's onboard EQ control can take you from warm and round thump to a cutting tone that begs you to grab your pick. An overdrive circuit does a great job of sounding like a raging tube bass stack. And the compression control evens out your attack, which can be especially appealing to slap-style players. And if you need even more low end, you just push the SUB button to pile on the warmth.





Convenient practice tool





The FLY 3 Bass excels as a bass practice tool and is simple to use when the inspiration to woodshed stikes. A line input accepts an 1/8" from a phone, laptop, or MP3 player, allowing you to play along with the songs you're working on. The 1/8" line output also functions as the headphone output and is speaker emulated. Run this line right to an input on your recording device and you're instantly sending great bass tones right to your track.
