Customer Reviews
 In The Studio.....  
by Jonni Lightfoot from Salt Lake City, Utah, March 21, 2008
Music Background:  Bass Player / Recording Engineer For Air Supply


“I use the U-5 On Acoustic guitars and my bass tracks, I love that round sound i get when using this piece. I have used it on 5 Air Supply Records, the old tracks (without the U-5) just sounded wimpy, now they are huge and round. I could not imagine our studio with out it in it! I never do a bass track without it!!”
