Why not?

I've seen a lot of great blues players play in a tight-cup (not sure how 
tight it is, but seems tight to me) using vocal mics (ex: fat Wireless), its 
absolutely no problem for them. Sure if you want to sound like LW or Rod 
Piazza you need more than a vocal mic. But otherwise the sound is 95% from 
the player and the amp does most of the rest (breakup and overtones etc.).

Feel free to correct me, but I think mics like bullets, biscuits and JT-30s 
etc. are used mainly to add color (for example JT-30's sound nasaly) to the 
sound and for their dynamic performance not to add crunch and distortion.

Pierre.
