good price for sm-7

[skunk]

Hi guys, thanx 4 all the good feedback!
I'm wondering how much I should pay 4 an sm-7 new in box, or even used in good condition. Any ideas?
Thanx

Paid $350 from Guitar Center, but I had to bring in a price match from Musicans Friend to get it for that. Also, it was a special order... which worked out as it took some time to get the cash together.

I really like it. It is the first pro studio mic I've bought, which may have something to do with it. It is also a tank. Makes my SM-57 knockoff look like the wimpy kid on the beach.

Note that your preamps really need to provide good gain. I tried to run it through a Mackie, and it was horrid. Using a 1010LT right now, and so far, so good.

great price at amazon

thanx 4 the killer input guys,
Gidge you are the bomb!
$313 in amazon!

JESUS. Amazon carries a mess of preamps and microphones -- and for really fair prices. Too bad for the smaller stores.

 

[Gidge]

Amazon is just acting as an advertiser. that $313 is actually from Full Compass.

Hey Gidge,

Just out of curiousity, how did you know it was Full Compass? I didn't see their name anywhere on that page.

as a side note, if you call Full Compass direct and tell them you saw the 313.00 price on Amazon, they may even give you a slightly better price......id shoot for 299.99 shipped.......

Ill give ya $99 for it

 

[cominginsecond]

Wow, I've graduated into the big leagues.

As far as that $99 deal goes, I didn't get the GidgeMo seal of approval by being that dumb.

new or used?

from where?

 

[bgavin]

Since I have a Beyer M400, I went a different direction from SM-7: got an RE-27 for $350 shipped, mint in the box.

Hey Gidge
I snarfed it up on ebay. I got lucky again, it is pristine, and used, with warranty card. Keep an eye open, they pop up all the time
