Big name players--probably not many, if any, but taste is taste, and
results are results...I play a Shaker XLR dynamic through a very
non-traditional rig even though much of my playing is blues-based.

I get _no_ complaints about tone from other musicians, and I get all
sorts of queries from harp players looking to sound like what I'm
putting out (tone, not technique--I'm not trying to overstate my
case, here).

My point is this--no-one, least of all Audix, is saying the Fireball
sounds like a Bullet or is the premier mic for Chicago blues,
but--after all--good tone is a package deal and it has to do with more
than just the "classic" amp and mic combination, otherwise every
player with a Bullet and a Bassman would be getting _that_ sound--and
they don't.

It's a competetive world out there, and I salute Audix for stepping up
to the plate with a product for harp players, and I'm betting with a
rig like like mine that the Audix would be a fine addition to my mic
arsenal.
