Carry-On ST: Blackstar's Nomadic Spirit
With the Carry-On ST series, Blackstar offers instruments designed for musicians on the move: easy transport, reduced bulk, and a "plug and play" oriented approach. The Carry-on ST Bass fits this philosophy by delivering a response and tone that exceed expectations for a travel format, allowing you to keep your playing and references even far from your usual gear.
Who is it for, and in which styles?
The Blackstar Carry-on ST Bass is aimed at beginner to intermediate bassists looking for a simple, practical, and comfortable bass, as well as experienced musicians who want a compact solution for warm-ups, travel, dressing rooms, or composing. Its short scale promotes smooth playing, perfect for pop, rock, funk styles, and any context where a responsive bass without complex setup is desired.
The Sound
The poplar body provides a pleasant balance, with present mids and a consistent response, ideal for clarity on the go. The bolt-on maple neck enhances attack and precision, while the laurel fingerboard contributes to a softer feel under the fingers. The balanced coil pickup aims for clear and even reproduction, and the minimalist electronics (volume, tone) allow quick shaping of the tone, from warm and mellow to a more defined attack. The short scale (23.46" / 596 mm) offers a looser tension, which promotes comfort and often a warmer character, especially appreciated when playing at low volume or through headphones with a suitable amp.
