Wow, there's a lot of nice mic lockers here.
Mine ain't that crazy yet but works fine. On the hunt for a Sennheiser MD421 or two and a 414 as soon as my shitty monetary situation allows me to.

Shure Prologue (80's low end 58-ish thing, looks cool for talkback...)
 
You know I thought I was a member here before but couldn't find a login that worked - just found an old-ish post from 5 years ago that shows me as a "guest" using my more common screen name/pseudonym. Huh. Well, I wasn't lying about not needing much else. I've only added a single mic (RØDE NTG1) since then. I do mostly recording away from home, and so the little collection I have for my music room has been fine for the little bit I do. I am optimistic about getting a SM7b for birthday+xmas, if the missus gets a nice bonus :). As my baritone gets gravellier every year, I have to believe it's going to help...

Some nice lists in here!
Do you use the d12 much, [MENTION=50954]witzendoz[/MENTION] ?
I have a lovely one here that never comes out of the box, because I never record live kits, but I know selling it would be short sighted.

Sometimes on Kick instead of the D112 if I want an older sound, I actually carry it around inmy PA mics case and use it at some gigs on kick, a bit risky for such a rare mic I know LOL.

I am also thinking of trying it on my double bass sometime in the future, usually use a condenser but the D12 was used on a lot of old recordings once.

Cool! Yeah, it's one of those mics you buy bubble wrap and foam for! lol.
If you ever fire it up on double bass, I'd love to hear how it goes.
