16 Jun 07 - 10:05 AM (#2078602) Subject: RE: Harmonica mic info. From: Mooh Not specifically helpful maybe, but the "Apex127 Harmonica (Blues Harp) Microphone" might be an option. I picked one up for more compressed vocals for blues (Move It On Over and the like) to try for an older vocal "feel". Haven't seriously played harp in decades, so it remains untried for its intended purpose. Cheap though, $75 Cdn. Peace, Mooh. |

Here's a link to a thread with pics (CLICK). The guy's name is Ted Crocker and his contact info is there on the thread. |

From: GUEST,meself For neophytes: the types of microphones being talked about here are what you want for that 'dirty', 'amplified' Chicago blues sound - as opposed to a rural (e.g. Sonny Terry) blues, bluegrass, or Country sound, for which you would want a vocal mike such as the Shure 157 - or is it 571 - or 517 - or 751 - or 175 - or ... ? |

From: GUEST,Geust a green bullet isn't your only choice. if your a singer and blues harp player i would go for a shure 545. it is the microphone blues harp greats like paul butterfield, little walter and junior wells, and they still make them retail for 100. or you can get a VINTAGE used one on ebay for 50-150$. Its a great deal. switch it to hi impedance and it will sound just as good as any bullet mic. |
