A pretty 47 Fet i for $3k at the Overland Park KS GC sure is pretty but
I just can't justify the $$ for a Fet . I keep telling g my self $3k could buy a used pair of Gefells and a c38!

Ericn,
You might consider a Warbler IID. If you're not digging the capsule (which sounds pretty good to my ears) an upgrade to a Thiersch M7 would set you back around $400 or a Heiserman HK47 for $250??. You'd still be clocking in under $700 and the mic offers some major versatility with the pattern, voicing and pad options.
Another candidate that I dig in this category is the JJ Rottweiler 47. Cinemag out tx, K47 capsule, high quality caps. On groupbuy they go for $650, at least they used to. I could put my Rottweiler inside a kick drum and man it was insane in there.
The Warbler is plenty interesting. Their stock capsules sound pretty sweet.
Thanks
-L

If I was extremely wealthy, I suppose I could justify the expense of a real 47 fet. I just can't see spending 3K for a mic that is largely thought of as a great outside kick and bass amp mic.

The price is on the low side and it is pretty but If I were in that price range I'd buy a FLEA ef12 like bradds or have Shannon tweet a DIY or CV4. Besides after spending $3k I bet I'd still end up sending it to Sinsay! |

For just another $300, you can buy a brand new one. And it's worth it!

I'm well aware that the U 47 FET comes with a K 47 FET capsule ... my frankenmic employs an m7 blue line and similar electronics to a fet47.... *** Edit  So yes, historically accurate, not by any means The sound tho.... glorious! |

I think that's why I always preferred the Gefell UM70/71 Fet over a 47 Fet most of the time! |
