Side note: 
Saw Jason Ricci last week and he tried it our briefly. He thinks I should take the cup off, he prefers the sound form his hand better. 


Thanks Jerry,

It was 1.5" PVC w/ contact paper over it, just for looks, paint on PVC rubs off on you hands too easily.

Jerry, 

Did you mount it in a 2" PVC end cap painted black? That is what I remember seeing at the convention.

That modified e604 is mine, and I like it, tough, small light, great bass response. 
Here's my set up:

The Sennheiser e604 is well suited for both bass and chord...but also also 
chromatic and diatonic. 

Because of this mic's ultra light weight, this is the best mic at this time 
to mount to a chest plate. Other proponents of the e604 are The Harmonica 
Hotshots (Al and Judy Smith), Gene Hansen, and Doris and Rudy Michelin. 

While at SPAH Convention 2012, I saw an e604 modified so that you can hold 
it like a large diaphragm bullet mic. I didn't hear it in the application, 
but the owner said that it was as good as any other good bullet mic. 

So the e604 is a very good, all around microphone.
