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.

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

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.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.

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.
