Hi all! I'm looking for a good first mic. Originally, I was going to go with a Shure SM57, but I think I'm leaning towards a solid Oktava MK319 or MC012. I'll be recording acoustic guitar and vocals as well as mic traynor ycv40 tube amp in the future. Please give me any suggestions/offers. My ceiling for the mic will probably be about $100-$120 with shipping included. I came here because some stupid people on ebay keep shoving up the price above what I can get it for at an internet shop ($99.99). However, I'm looking here because I trust the opinions and the gear of people who actually do recordings and know what they're doing. Please PM me or hit up my email at

Thanks again for the help!

PS
suggestions on mic cables, stands, shockmounts, or any other gear pertaining to mics welcome! However, I already own an M-Audio DMP3 and have recording software for my computer.
EDIT: I've also looked at the SP B1 and 603s, but they sound a little too bright (Like a Taylor guitar. I'm looking more for a darker Martin sound), and I heard the B1 wasn't very good with vocals.
