FWIW, I'm running a "new" Blues Blaster through a Fender Pro Jr., and no 
matter how I fiddle with the setup, there is something lacking in the sound. 
(My "chops", of course, but I'm working on that....)  I did do a tube swap 
on the amp to cut down the feedback, now I'm wondering if there's a better 
microphone choice to compliment it.

Also, thanks to those who have responded...like I said, I'm fairly new to 
this deal, and I do need all the help I can get.


Hey, Rick (or Dana?).  Interestingly, I was just running a number of microphones through 
my Pro. Jr.  Mot of my microphones sound great through it.  Some stick, some bullet.  I 
used to have a microphone like your late model blues blaster, and it sounded good 
through it, too.  While that mike would not be my mike of choice through that amp right 
now, there really shouldn't be anything very seriously lacking especially for someone fairly 
new.  It may be that you need to work on your cupping.  (FWIW, some current favs into my 
pro jr. are JT30Ceramic, EV638, and a couple of different bullets with "Controlled 
Reluctance" -- a good name for a CD by the way  -- go ahead anybody, steal it!) --John K.
