    Clearing out odds n ends mics/amp/gits/pickups

    First off...all items are in excellent or as new condition unless specified other. Ask for pics if really interested. My 100% ebay feedback since 2001 speaks for itself. Paypal or MO is fine and local pickup always welcomed but no, you cannot pick up at my house and/or play "stairway to...

    EV raven mod...fyi

    it was pretty easy to get this mic to sound decent to very good and though I haven't given it a thorough test, to me, it sounds like a slightly brighter peavey 520i (not a bad thing at all) and really liked it on my tube amp but it won't replace my beyer. ok...the old oktava mod...
