I've just been reading the last several weeks of postings and have a few 
comments to make.  Green Bullets in the stock configuration are indeed 
dual impedance.  They lack that bark and bite that so many players are 
seeking.  They can easily be made into high impedance only microphones.  
Just cut the low impedance lead and wrap it with tape or heat shrink 
tubing.  This solves the sound problem and also eliminates a lot of the 
feedback problem.  William Clarke did used to play a Shure with an 
Astatic element.  He doesn't currently.  He didn't use that configuration 
for long.  He says someone heard he did that and wrote something about 
it.  (Pete Sheridan) And the legeng began.  He was using an off the shelf 
Astatic when I saw him about 6 months ago.  He says he's always changing 
microphones so there's no way to know what he's playing on any given 
night.  When I last saw Mr. Clarke he was playing 1248 Super Chromonicas 
exclusively for chromatic work.  By the way, Mr. Clarke is quite 
approachable.  Aside from being a bit too self depracating he's the 
nicest guy you'd want to meet.  Don't hesitate to talk to him after a 
gig.  Common courtesey applies of course.  FJM not barry
