i've been upgrading microphones as my skills develop. i've tried several things on outside kick that were mostly not awesome. this is great for that. i've never heard a fet 47 in person, but as soon as i put this mic up and got the phase working with the inside mic - it is the familiar sound that i have been chasing for a while and has improved my recordings. i've not owned it long so i am still getting to know it and trying it out on things - so i'm sure i'll find lots of uses, but for me, just kick out was well worth the expense.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
