YouTube video Seymour Duncan · 2025-03 — Official 'Tone, Power, Portability' launch demo of the PowerStage 700 Bass head

Seymour Duncan's own channel introduces the PowerStage 700 Bass, covering its tone, power and portability.

Why it matters

The PowerStage design is about headroom without colour: it can amplify a preamp or modeller output flat, or run on its own with a bass-voiced four-band EQ and a footswitchable overdrive. At 4.5 lb it fits in a gig bag, and the XLR DI with ground lift plus an effects loop cover stage and studio use. It is Seymour Duncan's first proper bass head, designed by Kevin Beller and shown at NAMM 2025.

Note

Seymour Duncan's first proper bass head, revealed at NAMM 2025 and designed by engineer Kevin Beller. It doubles as a flat, high-headroom power platform for preamp/modeler rigs or as a stand-alone amp with a bass-voiced EQ and footswitchable overdrive.
