My only complaint is that the quarter inch plug is a bit challenging. At first I couldn’t get my instrument cable to plug into it. After some testing and swapping I found that only two of my cables will actually click in, the others simply don’t work. I assume this is an anomally with the component but it’s still a pain.

The sound it pretty good when plugged into a bass amp but there tends to be a little noise when handling/touching the instrument. Backing off on the treble through the mixer eliminates that without too much fuss.

I deliberately chose the “low-end” option for amplifying my bass. I figured anything would be better than trying to use a mic on a stand and then being stuck in one place. I was right. This is much better and now I can be heard.

For , it honestly sounds better than I expected. Works through my Hartke combo as well as any PA I’ve gone through. If I were a professional I’d probably want something more hi-fi, and it seems like it might not take much abuse but for the money I’m totally satisfied.

The Shadow transducer works well. I got it for my son who is really serious about the bass. He uses it to play when he plays with his friends, not for his youth orchestra. He seems really happy with it.
