Assuming you're a rock bass player then the 7506's will be good for
that. However if you then move to playing live using a regular amp
your bass will likely sound *quite* different and that can be
frustrating. If you intend to practice and then record in your home
studio then I find the 7506's a better overall product for this use
since they're well isolated.

Just my views,
