He said he that can't play the drums for more than 5 minutes due to pain. He bought the drums in hope of finding a drummer but hasn't been able to. So, at this point, both the mics and the drums are collecting dust. He could use the money (if he wants) to purchase a drum program...or whatever...

Sell them. You'll get your money back, maybe even a little more if you get just a little bit lucky. You can use the money to buy something like Addictive Drums, EZDrummer, or better yet, Superior Drummer, depending on needs/desires (budget). Best of luck!

BTW, the guitar and neck are Black Limba cut from the same blank, the board is mcassar ebony. The guitar was made by Franklin Cash guitars to my specs - woods, 24.75" scale, Scahller Hannes bridge, TruOil finish. Thanks for the nice comments. :)

I'd look for a used MIM Fender that spoke to me.

I hate heavy guitars - I want lightweight and resonant and don't think I have to have a heavy guitar to get good sustain.....Wait, make that I am SURE that I don't need a heavy guitar to achieve it. Give me a lightweight guitar any day......like my Mad-O-Caster......about 6 lbs and screams like...

Are you reasonably sure it is a phase issue? "Flipping the switch" will only reverse the phase by 180 degrees, not shift it in other increments. You might try using a plug-in that will do that for you, such as http://www.voxengo.com/press/138/ . ......OR....... .......have the vocalist...

The B1 is MUCH better than the AT2020, IMO.

What's so lol about that? The 219/319's can be really, really good mics. I have a bunch of higher end mics and bought and sold a lot of others, but my 319s won't ever be sold. No matter what I have (and I think I am set now) they will always have a home. Take Michael Joly's advice, buy a 219...

It's a nice mic. You can get it for less than $700, of course, and for the price I'm not sure how much more you can ask for. It depends on what you want from a mic really. The K2 is well rounded but I didn't find it to excel in any particular area. It would be a nice, general purpose mic. It's...

My favorite mic for acoustic guitar is not a SD at all, it's a BLUE Baby Bottle. FWIW, I have 2 Oktava MC012, 1 Shure KSM 137 (a sleeper, IMO), and had a pair of AT4041. I like the BB better than any of them. Just a thought in a different direction. :)

Don't get a 2200 unless you want more inexpensive sizzle. I don't like that mic at all. Get the Oktava modded first - definitely . The mic has a lovely capsule and with some modding it can be a downright good mic, period. Consider getting the V67 modded second. You will then have two pretty...

Yo dude, there is just one way to roll and it's like this: Yo, not only can it get the rap in the can, you can do all of your videos with it AND keep track notes. It comes loaded with every beat ever made, masters your raps in real time so you don't hafta waste time and bling fo dat, and it's...

Yes, you're describing a BeesNeez James - handmade (including the capsule) in Australia. I have one (along with two other Beesneez mics) and love it. http://www.beesneezmicrophones.com.au/james.htm Note the price listed in in AUD not USD, which would bring the mic price down, although still a...

Those mics wholesale from China for under $100. CAD was the first to bring them to market, the Trion (8000, I think). They're being blown at various places for much less than some company ridiculously named Newmann (makes me think of Newman from Seinfeld). They should have named their company...

You got an early version of the mic, before they put in a tube socket. 12a?7 tubes and it's ilk can last for quite awhile. I wouldn't worry about it. If you must, you could or you could have someone put in a tube socket. It's not worth it IMO. Just use the mic and enjoy it. -Mad
