Rick,
   
  >Is the Jim McBride I see here in these threads the same guy behind the 
>Bottle o' Blues harp mic?  If so, I bought one of those bad boys from

  >I have 4 main harp mics:
   >  -Custom JT-30 body w/ Shure CM element 
  >  -Pre-1946 Astatic JT-30 w/ crystal element 
  >  -Harmonica Honker
  >  -Bottle o' Blues

  Yep, its me. Still making and selling the Bottle 'O Blues. Business is good. The mics are inexpensive and have a unique sound. Check out my website at 
  www.bottle-o-blues.com. I have a couple of reviews of the mic you can read.
   
  No new products in the pipeline yet ... only in my head :-) Was thinking of designing a small tube preamp for those cases where you don't want to carry an amp - just want to plug into the PA but need something to get overdrive. 
   
  Thanks for the good words about the mic.
