Overview
Useful Arts BF-700 Class A Preamp/DI and Class D Power Amplifier
The tone you love. The power you need.
The BF700 is Useful Arts’ first bass power amplifier—a complete, gig-ready system that pairs an audiophile-grade Class A tube preamp with a muscular 700-watt Class D power amp. It’s the natural evolution of our acclaimed BF Series, built for players who demand rich tone, clean headroom, and real-world versatility.
Useful Arts redefined electric bass sound with the BF-1 tube preamp/DI and the BF-S studio version. Known for their lush harmonic detail and rugged build, these units earned praise from top-tier bassists and engineers alike.
The BF700 answers the call for a full-range solution: the unmistakable BF tone, now with integrated power for live gigs, studio sessions, and speaker cabinet recording. It expands the BF Series with enhanced sound-shaping tools and pro-grade utility features.
