Hello Harp-L'ers,
I have decided that I simply do not like the shape of the JT-30-style
mic shell, because of the protrusions for the screws. I prefer a round
shell. So I thought I'd see if any of you are interested in trading mic
shells.
I have a Hohner Blues Blaster shell that has been modified to accept a
1/4" guitar cord. It's not the screw-on adaptor... there is a threaded
piece epoxied into the mic shell and the 1/4" female jack screws into
it. It's a really nice setup, plus the jack is grounded so you don't
have to worry about grounding to the shell like you so with the
amphenol-style 2501 adaptor. It looks really professional (I didn't do
it, a fellow Long Island harmonica player did -- Scott Micchiche). The
grill is in good shape and the shell is the Blues Blaster dark blue
color. You could always strip the paint and powder-coat it or chrome it
and have a really cool looking JT-30 style shell. The grille is in good
shape as well. The larger hole in the shell is drilled to accept a
small volume pot (I used a military-spec sealed potentiometer).
The actual Switchcraft part usedin the shell is a 1/4" female on one
side, with the cable sticking out of the other. I believe their part #
is 120.
I prefer the Turner BX shell (I grind off the fin). Would any of you be
willing to trade me a BX shell and grille (any condition) for this Blues
Blaster shell and grille?
Lemme know,
Bill
