More Gene Autry style / Sears mic issue

[BushmasterM4]

Well hear we go with that Sears mic question again. I went out to my studio to do some more work on the plug in thing I posted earlier. But decided to give it a rest. I went back and remixed the "Old School Country" practice tunes I recorded a few weeks ago for some friends. I went back and narrowed the stereo feild quite a bit. So that is better now. But the "Mic" delima continues. We used the singers old Sears mic and we got alot of noise out of it. So I used a noise filter and cleaned it up a little (but lost some clarity). So posted are links to all the tunes. Many liked the sound of the "Sears mic, when I posted the original post. Im still on the fence. Its very bland but appeals to this vibe, like many of you mentioned in the original thread. Just need to get the thing cleaned or fixed before we try it again. Im posting all for your enjoyment.

The first 4 are the "Sears Mic". I filtered each differently and the results are heard.

These two are a Shure 58. The vocals are cleaner, but I noticed that the Bass track has some noise. Its my studio Hartke 3500 and it has a DI built in the back of the amp. Well its a little noisey. I need to pick up a descent DI anyway. So if anyone can recommend one that is silent, let me know.

Ghost Rider...
What's the noise at the beginning? Sounds like amp stuff.
I don't know if it's the mic or the voice but the vocals really do suit the song & style.
The bass seems a little too toppy or forward - not sure which.
Well captured.

Noisey DI on Bass amp and Sears mic. Need a descent DI. I can get rid of the DI noise pretty easy, but the mic has a high pitch ring/squeel to it.
