Designed for demanding live and recording applications, with naturally seasoned Canadian Spruce top, and cutaway for full access to all frets. Includes Natural Response electronics.
Review :Feature:
You can do almost anything with this right out of the box. They should have supplied a case to put the thing in, as it's rather oddly shaped.
Quality:
Taking 1 point off for the plastic housing and 2 points off for the cheap X-Y mic combo. I would have loved to see a unit like this with some higher end mics attached, so as to truly make it an all-in-one, even if the list price had been, say, $699 or so vs $299.
Value:
Couldn't find anything better for less.
Desirability:
More features and "usefulness" than any product I've ever owned.
Sound:
Records the sound that is there. Though it's classified as unidirectional, sounds recorded from the sides and back will sound distant. Fairly decent, though cheap, X-Y mic combo.
Ease of Use:
I'm a PC/tech expert and the menus and buttons continue to boggle me on this. The manual could have been a little more explicit.
Support:
Company didn't respond to my emails regarding the attached microphones or the mic modeling feature. Also, the manual could have been better written.
Overall:
Overall, the features make up for the lesser quality, noisy mics and plastic case.

Epiphone Masterbilt En546ce Classical Cutaway Acoustic-electric Guitar Classical Acoustic electric Guitars Epiphone Guitars, Amps, and Effects Review :Feature: Mine did not include accessories at all, I had to purchase everything else separately. (polish, case, cords, battery) Also, it came strung with heavy gague round wounds, which are absolutely abysmal and transmit all kinds of string noise. I changed them to light gague nylon flat wounds, and the action improved greatly. I also wish I had gotten one with the cutaway. The symmetrical body is pretty, but I do a fair bit of soloing, and have had to re-finger a number of songs because I couldn't reach the upper 8 frets. AND I had to add my own upper strap button. Quality: So far, I have been pleased with the quality of the instrument. The battery runs down quickly (I have to unplug between sets, and a battery rarely lasts more than one gig). The only cosmetic issue I have is that it looks like the head was drilled for a 6-string then filled and re-drilled for a 4. Value: This is my 4th bass, and my favorite. I also have a Hondo II, a Yamaha long-scale and a Guild fretless. I also got a better deal on it than on the others. Sound: I bought this to use in acoustical, un-amped settings, and the sound and balance (with my wife's guitar) are perfect. Solid low-end with enough overtone to not sound mushy. When I amp I play through a 1969 Ampeg v2 (eat your heart out :) ) and it still sounds great. Amped it is very touchy, and the Fishman picks up everything, even my sloppy changes and thupms on the body. Shipping Cost :$0 Listing Price :$1082 Review this product |

Ibanez Ewn28koe Exotic Wood Classical Acoustic-electric Guitar Classical Acoustic electric Guitars Ibanez Guitars, Amps, and Effects Review :Value: These speakers are a little expensive, although, it is worth it. Sound: I am a Mobile DJ as well as a sound contractor. These speakers are a catch-all. I am yet to see an application in which they don't sound good. I personally own 2 pairs and have installed over 50 pairs. They are fantastic. Add a powered mixer and you have a nice little portable PA system. You can also get a waterproof version for outdoor use. Shipping Cost :$0 Listing Price :$785.7 Review this product |
