I was tracking vocals in a friend's home-based studio (bathroom set-up for a particular "sound". So (thankfully) I chose to start of with a Marshall V67G.
After a few good takes, we were in the control room mixing. His four-year old was there, but we had kept a watchful eye up until know.
Moments later I hear a loud blamm! coming from the bathroom. I lean into the hallway leading to the bathroom and see half of the boom microphone stand sticking out of the bathtub. And a 4-year old standing in the door-way with a "busted" look on his face.
After a little father-to-son scolding, and some more mixing, I went home. The dad offered to replace the mic, but we're good friends, so I told him not to worry about it.
Got home. Plugged the V67 into Channel 1 of my Sytek. And fired away. It worked. And it sounded okay to me.
But I'm still worried that down the road, the effects of it having fallen from a height of 6' 2" will come into play.
Oh well. $150 is not too much.
Thank God I didn't put my 414-TLII on there. I listened to that "still, small voice" that said, "leave it home".
