Blue Bird

GOLD

50 Years of Glockenklang Edition – 50 copies

1975 - 2025

To mark our 50th anniversary, we have teamed up with the founder, Udo Klempt-Gießing, to create a limited special edition of the Blue Bird. We are releasing 50 amplifiers with gold-anodised front panels, personally signed by Udo, onto the bass scene.

Dynamic range, warmth and superb detail reproduction right up to the highest volume levels. The Blue Bird Amp delivers up to 900 watts of power and a wide range of features. In addition, the amplifier has two instrument inputs: one for basses at normal levels and one with adjustable pre-attenuation for basses at higher levels.
