I really like this sound a lot..

Would be really cool to experiment with reverb while using this sound I think!:)

Thanks Ron. I got almost every mic in the video from Super Cool Swing Man and Mic Guru, Ron Sunshine (aka GoldenBug). Ron is THE man for hard to find original vintage and custom mics and one hell of a musician..... check him out!

awsome,i want to do that.

Man, those are some great mics! I think I like the 71 green bullet the best. Where do you get all those beautiful mics, man? Haha.

I think we ought to consider a trade. I could sure use a new amp! You should see what I am hording right about now.

Nice sound all around. Great playing, and beautiful amp.

Oh, and by the way, did I fail to mention that the old peach farmer and I had something else in common?...He only had one decent peach tree, and I only have one decent microphone!...you have the right idea, I`m sure...so keep all your mics pruned and treated, and keep`em comin`. I damn a** enjoy!

[joeat963]

Harpsucker, I know now why I supscribed to you. It`s because I always love to view a fellow harpsucker doin` his thing! Personally though, when I want ta go Chicago, I just grab the first mic available to me and play. It`s kinda like the old peach farmer that never prunes or treats his trees. He just picks them boogers when they`re ripe, and eats them!

Yea, that's what my wife wants to know, too! I tell her that they are all "investments", but you know better that.

BTW- your '59 Bassman with the Sheiks is sounding plenty good to me.
