Seymour Duncan PowerStage 700 Bass
The PowerStage 700 Bass is a lightweight, road-ready amplifier head that delivers serious power without the bulk. At just 4.5 lbs with a compact footprint of 11" × 7.5" × 2.25", this unit prioritizes portability without compromising on output or control. Built into a rugged metal chassis, it's engineered to withstand the demands of working musicians.
Power & Amplification
The PowerStage 700 Bass produces 700W @ 4 ohms or 350W @ 8 ohms, giving you the headroom needed to cut through a mix on stage or sit comfortably in the studio. This power output pairs with a discrete transistor preamp designed by Kevin Beller, ensuring transparent signal integrity and musical response across the frequency spectrum—crucial for bass players who demand clarity and definition live.
Connectivity & Signal Routing
Multiple input and output options keep your signal chain flexible: 1/4" instrument input with -10dB pad, 1/8" aux input, series effects loop, and outputs via 1/4" speaker, Speakon, XLR DI with ground lift, and 1/8" headphone jack. This connectivity suite handles everything from direct FOH feed to amp-off practice and silent monitoring—no external adapters or workarounds required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the discrete transistor preamp design mean for my tone?
The Kevin Beller–designed preamp delivers transparent, uncolored gain staging that preserves your instrument's natural dynamics and tone shaping without adding its own character. This clean signal integrity is especially valuable when layering effects or running direct to a mixer or recording interface.
How much power do I need for live performance and recording?
The PowerStage 700 delivers 700W at 4 ohms or 350W at 8 ohms, providing substantial headroom for both live stages and studio sessions. The combination of power and clean preamp design ensures your signal stays undistorted even at high volumes or with dynamic playing.
What outputs and inputs does it have, and can I record with it?
Connectivity includes 1/4" instrument input (with -10dB pad), 1/8" auxiliary input, series effects loop, 1/4" and Speakon speaker outputs, XLR DI with ground lift, and 1/8" headphone jack. The XLR DI and flexible routing allow you to send a clean signal directly to a mixing console, recording interface, or monitor system without external adapters.
What skill level do I need to operate this amplifier?
The PowerStage 700 is designed for intermediate to advanced and professional players who understand signal flow and want to shape their tone with precision. Its five-band EQ (Bass, sweepable Low Mid, sweepable High Mid, Treble, Presence) and effects loop routing reward hands-on tweaking but require familiarity with amp setup and gain staging.
Is this amp portable enough for touring?
Yes; at 11" × 7.5" × 2.25" with a rugged metal chassis, it's compact enough to fit on a pedalboard or in a tour van while delivering working-pro reliability and the power output needed for full-sized venues and recording sessions.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $49 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
