Re: [Harp-L] playing direct to PA

Excellent idea Randy. I play clean most of the  time but hanging around here 
makes me want to get that "TONE" thing happnin'.  Playing straight with an SM 
58 always works for me though. (note to self, change  is good, get bullet mic).

FOR  BLUES GIGS-I have a very sweet custom blues mike (from dennis, mr   
microphone). It is a turner housing with a vintage sure element. It   
has tons of crunch but still has the highs and clarity I like. I had   
him design it with an unbalanced XLR on it. Therefore, I walk up to   
the unknown mike and, in a flash, I remove it from the cable and   
stick MY MIKE onto it.  What this does is give me just enough  crunch  
in the mike to make it blend well with the blues. It  approximates  
having an amp without bringing an amp. Plus, this mike  has a volume  
control so I can work it. I have done this dozens of  times with  
excellent results. Playing blues through this mike is far  preferable  
to playing through a 58, IMO. Not as dirty as an amp and  not as clean  
as the 58. Gets the job done
