Seymour Duncan launches dedicated 700-watt bass amplifier

Seymour Duncan has launched a new amplifier specifically for bass guitarists called the PowerStage 700 Bass. This 700-watt amp is part of the PowerStage series and focuses on enhancing setups for players who use amp modelers and multi-effects pedals. The PowerStage 700 Bass stands out because it features an onboard preamp and built-in overdrive. This allows players to create a variety of vintage and modern bass tones without needing additional equipment. It is designed to provide clean power for both live performances and studio recordings. Additionally, this amp includes useful features such as a four-band EQ, mid controls, a presence button, and an effects loop. These allow bassists to shape their sound dynamically and integrate the amp seamlessly into their existing setups. The amp has multiple outputs, including XLR and headphone options, making it versatile for different settings. Kevin Beller, the VP of Engineering at Seymour Duncan, emphasized that this amplifier is more than just a companion for modelers. He noted that the PowerStage 700 Bass is a complete amplifier, showcasing years of development. The PowerStage 700 Bass is now available for purchase at a price of $699.
