RE: [Harp-L] Mic Recommendations

["steve"<mudharp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry to tell, but you just wasted 20 bucks.  Those have probably the weakest output of any mic I've ever tested...and I'm counting the 9 dollar plain wrap mic from the local dime store.  Go check out the old reviews on Harmony Central.

See http://home.alltel.net/lemurcat/<br>   <br>  You'll need to get a standard guitar lead to plug it into an amp.  Mine is currently shipping, so I have no firsthand experience.  But it sure looks like a good starting point!<br>   <br>  Cheers<br>   <br>  Maka<br><br><br>       <br>---------------------------------<br>Get the World's number 1 free email service. Find out
