“How many times does an angel fall?” - David Bowie, ‘Blackstar’

Blackstar Amps are rising up, and every time they do, they change, grow, and evolve, like some many-headed hydra.

Do you know what the most requested item in Blackstar Amplification’s history has been? It’s none of their award winning amps, none of the HT valve-driven pedals, or even the ridiculously amazing sounding Fly-3 battery-powered portable amps. It’s bass amplifiers. 10 years of making waves and turning heads in the guitar scene, and still what they hear the most talk about is how much the bass-playing community wants to be a part of the Blackstar movement. And it’s no surprise that when Blackstar descends from the heavens and answers their prayers, it’s changing things forever.

You’re sitting at the bar, firelight flickering across your handsome, roguish features, as you laugh and regale your comrades with the tales of your heroic derring-do;

“..and as the guards tried to follow me across the rooftop, the clumsy oaf cracked through the skylight, and sent me tumbling three stories right onto the pianist in the centre of the governor’s celebrations!”

(you pause for drama, as their eyes go wide)

“..Thankfully, I’m an expert and accomplished piano player, as well as rakish playboy philanthropist jet-setter, and the Governor’s party went off without a hitch!”

As you laugh charmingly, however, Big Eric sneers down from behind an unwashed beard, and says ‘Oh Yeah? Prove it.’

And now you can!

Close your eyes. Metaphorically. You won’t be able to read this, if you do.

Picture California, in the 60s. Fender’s California. 

The warmth of that bright, shining sun, the cool, sparkling waves - sandy beaches, green grass, bright laughter; the colours all so vivid and bright its like you could almost reach out and touch it.

Look closer - that girl on the promenade, the sun making a halo of her curls. What is that colourful guitar she’s playing? It seems familiar, from way back. Did the Beach Boys play that? I’m not sure.

Now open your eyes, and look down. Not at your lap, but at the pictures in this post. Pictures of a beautiful, colourful guitar so vivid and bright its like you could almost reach out and touch it.

Brave Echidna Attacks Military. Nope.

Bread Eventually Attracts Mould. Nope.

Bear Escapes Art Museum. Nuh-uh.

Breakfast Eats A Man. Couldn't be.

Bass. Electric. Acoustic. Media.      Sounds right? You're damn right it does.

The BlackStar Amplification's ID CORE: BEAM is the Swiss Army Knife of guitar amps.

It's loaded with weaponry and equipment to cope with any conceivable situation

What ho, old bean?

Why, do my peppery peepers deceive me, or has yonder amplification doodad turned an attractive and revitalising vintage sepia tone?

Believe you me, for this is no collection of flapdoodle and fiddle-faddle, but a hotsy-totsy choice bit of calico with which to grace the musical stages and halls of the ages.

Do yourselves the indulgence of getting out of your petting pantries and spend a few wooden pennies on the investment of a lifetime!
