Vintage Electric Bass

Use to track and playback my acoustic/electric basses, when recording. Also great for practicing while watching TV (go Warriors!) Seriously, the best part about these headphones is how light they are, how easy it is to hear other things around you when you need to, and the sound of the bass. Designed to be bass heavy so you can wear them loosely and still get a full sound. My favorite headphones of ALL TIME. Also, LIFETIME GUARANTEE IS FOR REAL. (the only problem is after a few years of falling asleep in front of the TV, you can strain the connection at the earpiece.) I've sent back two different pairs of them in the last TWENTY YEARS. (bought my first in 1996) Best price, in this case, is the best product. Buy them. You will not regret it... :-)

I love how lightweight and sturdy this guitar holder is. I have 2 bass and 1 electric guitar and they rest on there perfectly and secure. I no longer have to resort to leaning my axes over my couch and have the fear of watching them tip over and hit the floor hard.

This product is great. Its compact and built well. Fits both acoustic and Electric guitars as well as bass.

I recently played electric bass for a week-long musical in a recently renovated church theater space ... which was renovated badly -- only one afterthought power outlet in the orchestra pit area. This little unit kept my 100-watt bass monitor, preamp, tuner and stand light going for the whole gig without a pop or flicker. And it's just light enough to Dual-lock onto a rack shelf and stay in place with lots of thumpy transport.

I am a bassist that plays a fretless electric upright bass and sings background vocals in several bands. Because I have to look at my fingerboard regularly to check my intonation, it's hard to use a traditional stand-mounted mic. I got a Shure SM-35 headworn condenser mic (phantom power required), but needed a way to turn the mic off when I was not singing. After looking at several switches, I bought this one and used it at a gig last night. It worked exactly as advertised - no noise, no popping, no problems. The only issue I had was a difficulty plugging in the mic itself - the input on the Power Mute was very tight and it took a rather strong attempt to get the XLR connector in to make a good connection and locked. It could just need a break-in period, but that was the only problem I had with it.

I'm a bass player and switch between a Upright and Electric Bass during or gigs. And would get feed back from the Uprights piezo pickups. The two channels on the DPDB allows me to use the two thru bypass line outs to my A/B switch to send one line to my Amplifer and Two XLR sends to our PA Mixer. With a better quailty signal going to the Mixer we don't get the feed back. And it gives me a channel for each of my instruments in the mixer so we don't have to change the volume levels when I change from one instrument to the other.

I have a vintage and modern hi-fi system, using an old surround sound receiver I have been using as a stereo. I don't usually care for surround anyway. My focus is music. I go from cassette and reel-to-reel to as modern as minidisc and CDs. So having great sound to hear it all is important. I found this series on a whim, and I opted for the S701 originally. I then realized the S501 suited my needs better for my size room. It's roughly a medium living space. I have these paired with some older and newer Sony speakers. Installation is super simple, and being able to use banana plugs is a huge plus. I do like the idea of having optical and coax inputs, as I can finally use my TV in an integrated amp. There is not too many on the market that can do that. One of the best parts is being able to install two recorders in the unit. This is across all the models in the range. Overall look is that perfect balance of vintage and modern. If you want that true vintage feel, go for the silver. Black suited my needs as 95% of my units are already black. Aluminum face, but plastic knobs. The knobs are still quality though. Very smooth operation. Remote is simple to understand with few functions. That might not matter to some, except for the volume control. After playing around with the bass and treble a bit to find the right sound, I realize the bass is not as deep as the previous Pioneer surround I used prior. However, I feel it is deep enough. I feel like the the sound is actually cleaner and with nice range. I like bass, but having too much could be a bad thing. Overall, the S501 is a perfect price to performance balance that will allow you to have any style of set up you want from vintage tape decks and turntables to just a stereo for watching TV or listening to CDs with. You won't be disappointed.

still keeps the vintage look.

Vintage sound!

For those of us with vintage hardware, this is a must.
