The Charter Oak s700 Microphone is a well-known broadcast microphone, which is why it's suprising and impressive to hear it perform very wonderfully as a microphone that records electric guitar cabinets and bass. The big and rich bottom end of this microphone translates to warm guitar tones, but at the same time it has a smooth and crisp top end that doesn't sacrifice a great deal of detail. At its low price, this is a great microphone to have in the studio for a wide variety of applications. For Bass SVT rigs, it's quickly becoming one of our favorite microphone choices, but is also does a nice job of reproducing well-balanced guitar tones, in particular, it's impressive at capture a lot of great low-end resonance, and top-end edge, but doesn't give you the typical muddy midrange and washed-out sounds you'd expect from a voice-over microphone. Definitely a nice microphone to have in the mic locker. If you want to discuss any of the Charter Oak Microphone line, or recording electric guitars or Bass, we are here and eager to help, and can be reached anytime worldwide at +1 919.682.5552.

Description:

The Kay Pro Bass, a reissue of the classic K162, has the volume and bite of an electric guitar, but when plucked softly, sounds like an upright bass. Solo and rhythm effects are unlimited, allowing color and tone open to your imagination. Get that unique Chicago-style jazzy blues sound from the semi-hollow unique Kay body chamber design and single-coiled Blade pickup. The special dual-capacitor switch is used for putting the bass guitar into overdrive. When you flip the switch, it cuts the high range and adds additional punch and deep tone of a standup bass. Includes hardshell case.
