My mics are not top notch, but they do the job for me:
1) JVC dynamic vocal mic
4) Shure dynamic cardioid 8700 vocal mics
1) Shure dynamic cardioid 8900 vocal mic
1) Shure PG52 dynamic bass drum mic
1) Shure Prologue 16AM cardioid pencil condenser
Cheers!
 
Sure!!!!

I know I have about 5 SM58s somewhere
Right now:

1 Sure SM 58 $99.00
1 Sure SM 57 $89.00
1 Sure Beta 58A $160.00

I'm a guitarist so I only need 2 mic
1 to sing and 1 to mic the cab

I sure I could use more lol
 
WOW.. Looking at the Mics that Most of you Guys Have I feel Like a Total Cheapo Amature......

I have about 10 Mics but they are Mostly all the Cheapest Crappiest Mics you can get....

Here is My Totally Pathetic List:

6 Amikliv 1 Dynamic Mics}
1 Shure C606 }--- $100
1 Dixon ??? }

2 Apex ??? One was $45 and One was $15

2 M-Bone MC-361-$3 each

Peavey EC-10 Celebrity Series Condencer Mic-$25 (Just Bought it)


As you Can see Most of my Mics Totally Suck accept the Amikliv 1 Dynamic Mics which actually sound really Good for Micing Drums and I use the Shure C606 for Micing My Bass Drum and it works OK but I will probably replace it with a Real Bass drum Mic and use the Peavey when it gets here for Cymbals...

ThanX
