Send it to MXL as a suggestion. It really makes a lot of sense. Why hide real brass with paint?

I might actually drive over there and show it to them. They're only about 5 miles from where I live. I've talked with Scott several times, although I don't know if he is still there.

To tell the truth, I'd much rather deal with Brent Casey. Last time I talked with Scott about a broken mic I got pushed off on someone else. Brent's got more class! I think he actually started Marshall and then went to SP.

Phil,

That mic looks awesome! I just picked up a V67 myself. When you say "Royer modded", what exactly is involved in the modification?

I removed the original electronics and replaced it with a tube circuit designed by David Royer. I also replaced the capsule with one from an MXL 2003. It's a 797 capsule, so the mic sounds fantastic!

If you do a google search with the words "mic", "berlin" and "barstow", you should find the article that describes what it is.

Thank you, sir!

Appreciate the info. :)
 
That does look great! :eek:
Keep in mind that brass tarnishes pretty easily. Especially if it's handled a lot by hands.
It'll be higher maintenance. That's probably why most brass mics are painted.
Maybe it can be clear coated with an enamel or something?
