Rickenbacker Short Scale Bass Guitar

Ideal if you play bass or guitar and sing. It gives you space from your instrument.

Used to cary multi effect system for my bass guitar

I've been considering this lens, and it's variants (Rokinon, Vivitar and Bower), for several months. I've researched many reviews on this lens prior to purchase. I shoot a Pentax K-50. Common issues were lens distortions, the distance scale being inaccurate and quality issues, where some users needed multiple copies before finding a good one (largely dealing with edge sharpness). Though I should mention that as for lens distortion it's less on a APS-C sensor. Well I bought the lens with the intention of putting it through a test before the B&H return policy expired. I took the lens to the Washington National Cathedral and the Balitimore Railroad Museum. In short, I was blown away by it's performance. It was incredibly sharp, even in corners, wide open. The distance scale on my copy seemed fairly accurate. The color and CA was excellent. Yes there is some lens distortion particularly indoors, but I found this easily correctable with PTLens. Focusing through the viewfinder, at other than infinity, can be somewhat challenging, but the work around I found is to use live view and magnify the image to get a precise focus. While the lens doesn't take filters per se, for outdoor landscapes I use a Lee 4 X 6 .9ND Graduated Neutral Density filter. In short, just buy this lens! It has a a few nuances, but it's cheaper, faster and sharper than comparable Pentax versions or other brands.

Used once for powering guitar amp, powered monitor, pedal board, and bass amp on stage. Performed well and kept the hums at bay. Long cord legnth and good plug access.

I bought this mic on a whim. I have a large mic collection and find Cad mics hit or miss. They make some dull sounding entry level mics and some incredible sounding high end microphones. One thing: their mics tend to be incredibly tough. I'm a huge fan of the equitek line, so I figured I'd see what this mic was all about since it looks pretty cool. This mic is great, especially for the price. It sounds great on vocals, acoustic guitar, guitar and bass cabs, and piano. I briefly tried it out as a room mic for drums but found the top end a bit too harsh (horrible zbt cymbals), but I didn't get a chance to experiment much with placement, nor with switching cymbals out. I used the mic on a recent recording session I did for a metal band. Paired with a dynamic mic on a 2x15 bass cab about a foot away from the speaker, the cad e40 captured an absolutely killer bass sound. Punchy with just enough grit, and incredibly detailed sounding. It might be my go to mic for 15 inch speakers from now on.

I use this for playing guitar/bass and singing to see my iPad charts and lyrics. it's PERFECT, and very sturdy. Always at the right angle, and is a MUST HAVE!!

This purchase replaced two of my 5 MKH8050's that went missing. They are great mics that there was no question I needed to replace. The Sennheiser MKH8050 (hypercardiod),and the other MKH mics, have a very smooth on and off-axis frequency response, are very quiet, and being RF condensers ( unlike almost all other condensers) are not affected by very humid conditions( no cracking/popping). I've used the MKH8050 on almost every instrument you can think off with outstanding sound: eg kick drum, bass/guitar amp, brass, woodwinds. acoustic guitar, banjo, violin/viola/cello/bass, kalimba, sitar, drum overhead, tabla, djembe, cajon, choir, classical style vocals ( mic'ed from few feet distance). Great for live sound and live recording. Rycote INV-3 are perfect shockmount clips to use with the 8050 ( and the 8040, 8020, 8090). I don't bother with the standard clips-esp. since the mics and the INV-3 shockmounts are very small and this is a bonus for video work. I don't do boom work but many write that this mic is one of the go-to choices for boom mics (esp indoors where off-axis pickup needs to be smooth).

I will be using this for recording vocals, instruments (bass, trumpet, guitar, sax) and synth (strings, piano, etc.). Having tried it on synth samples thus far, it adds a mellowing and pleasing analog feel to the recording quality. Excellent manufacturing and presentation.

I love the design and strong material these bag is made of, it protects very well my Bass-Guitar and pretty comfortable to carrying on

I was looking for a micro amp to mix our stage monitor signal with my mic or guitar/bass -- so I could add a bit more of me in my headphones. This works great. Has both sizes of headphone jacks, a choice of mono or stereo, separate monitor and mic/instrument volume controls, and XLR in and thru for live mixing. Also has a ground lift, which can be a difference-maker when you have house line noise. I use it mostly for adding my bass to the monitor mix. Small enough to fit on my pedal board, so it just comes along with me all the time now. The only caveat: The XLR inputs are low-Z, so you'll need a DI box to connect instruments. However, that is easy to work around considering all the other benefits.
