Harvey is even being quoted at Ebay

[Son of Mixerman]

I was mic shopping and saw Harvey being quoted, or at least partially. Looks like a combination of v67g and 603 quote combined to me.

V67G for 99 bucks...

Harvey hit the big time!

SoMm

 

[Harvey Gerst]

Nah, that's what I said in my original review of the V67G, and since I posted my review on rec.audio.pro, I guess anyone is free to use it.

Marshall Electronics DID contact me to ask my permission to use the 603 blurb in their print ads, which I freely gave. Somebody here pointed out that Musician's Friend picked up that 603 quote in their on-line catalog.

The whole thing strikes me as very funny - quoting someone that nobody has ever heard of, working in a studio that's a converted doublewide mobile home, in the middle of nowhere, in North Texas.

True, I have some old impressive credentials from about 30+ years ago, but certainly not today. But, what the hell, it's their nickle, and how they choose to spend it is up to them.

I think I'm also quoted on FMR Audio's site about the RNC, but Mark McQuilken is a little crazy anyway. I'm also on Millenia Media's website between George Bensen and the guy that does Counting Crowes.

It's a crazy business; go figure.

But you're a folk hero, Harvey!

Id rather be in a doublewide in the middle of Nowhere Texas than in jail for murder Anywhere California.

Im in the middle of a big city and nooobody knows me.

SoMm

Folk heros are usually based on real people. In my case, I think it's based on a myth-take (excuse the lisp and the pun).

Hey, I'm not actually complaining; at least I get in to the AES shows and NAMM for free.

 

[Middleman]

Yeah I saw that ebay thing and was going to bid on that mic but now that EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT!!!

Guess I'll have to pic one up from Sam Ash.

 

[Son of Mixerman]

SORRY.

But you can get a V67M if the color don't bother ya.

Same mic, different color of dress.

Peace,
SoMm

 

[Middleman]

No harm done. I am just a cheap skate and wanted to save $12.

You know, I've never read a post of Harvey's where he was anything less than courteous, patient, polite and considerate. I think that, and the fact he's so willing to share his knowledge and experience, is why people respect and - dare I say it - love him so much. Let's face it Harvey's the George Bailey of Pro-Audio (that's meant to be a compliment, btw). In fact I wish I had kids so I could get him to baby-sit them. A true Gentleman! I raise my glass to you sir! And, yes, I'm sure he has his dark side too. Don't we all!?

Yea, its in the new Tape Op on page 26, and they plugged your Indian Trail Recording Studio, way cool.

The way I see it, people who are interested in buying condenser mics aren't really gonna be customers for my studio in the middle of North Texas.

But I guess it's kinda cool to see your name in print (unless you happen to be Phil Spector).

Don't fool yourself, the 603 add will be good for business, and if I was in Texas I'd record at your studio in a heart beat.

Its going to be cool when they park a dumptruck full of cash in front of your house just to get a picture of you with thier product.

8th Street has the MXL V67G for $129 --- including a shockmount and a Mogami mic cable............. end of Feb I'm picking up at least one if they're still at that price!

Thanks, I'm on it. I actually have a source on the 67VB at $89. No cable though.

Harvey, you need to get an agent and parlay your standing in the industry. You know, endorsements, appearances maybe a Harvey Gerst restaurant in New York. I'm thinking another source of revenue and you can add a third trailer, maybe upgrade your consoles. Hey, I'm serious. Well, maybe not the NY thing but hey how about Dalhart, Texas?

Just a thought.....
