Re: Re: [Harp-L] Small practise amps

[Pat Powers <patpowers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can probably pick up a used Pignose or Gorilla amp (same company) for under $50, and they're great little practice amps.

The Hohner Blues Blaster is a decent inexpensive bullet mic, but you can use just about any microphone to start out with.  If you have one with an XLR ( 3-prong) connector, you can get an adapter at Radio Shack or just about any music store to make it plug it into a guitar amp.

I hope this information helps.
