Hi

Anyone tried these harps? We all know Spiers reputation so they are probably great!

Any of the pros on the site tried them? Compared to stage 1? Joe himself says only

the best players will know the diference between a pro stock and a stage 1!

 

Regards

Bullet Mic Holder

Hello Amplified Harp Players

With exception to that little incident in Bolivia, The Sundance Kid was always quick to the draw, and rarely missed his intended target. His pistol was always holstered in the right place at the right time.

You’ll always hit your intended target by never having to reach back for your harp mic again. Hang your mic onto your vocal mic stand!

Check out this “out of the box” microphone holder. Originally designed for guitars, this device has never let me down. continue reading...

Can anyone give me a little advice about microphones for harmonica.  I've seen the BadAax ZD-2 Cardioid Dynamic for about $56.  The Shure Green Bullet 520DX Dynamic on Amazon for about 120.  The Hohner Blues Blaster for around 140.  And I found an Astatic JT-30 (claiming to be NOS) for around 200.   continue reading...

Line 6 Pod XT Live

Hi there. 

I don't have an amp yet, but I have the line 6 pod XT live, which have lots of emulated amps and fx.

I use it for playing guitar, but recently I've been trying to play harmonica through it. 

Is really cool. 

I wonder if some of you already tried something like that. If so, do you now some cool presets? 

Thank you.

This summer I'm going to camp in a cabin in Montana for a week with some other musicians. Last time I camped with them I played completely acoustic, but I had wished I had a small amp. Any recommendations? We do have electricity. 

 

I need to to be able to take it on the plane.

 

thanks..

Best amps under 1000$ and above 15W

Hello everyone! and happy new year!

well, I just wanted know which are for you the best sounding stock tube amps (harp-friendly, it's understood) in the market, without surpassing the 1000$ limit (a matter of budget), and able to cut through the band in small/medium gigs...

(Band: Drums, bass, guitar, harp/singer) 

I've been thinking about the Fender Pro Junior, but I fear it may fall short... 

any thoughts?

Hearing Yourself OnStage - In-the-Ear Monitor

Hey everyone,

I hear Dave talking a lot about having your amp tilted up on stage or up on a chair, or even using a stage monitor, so that you can hear yourself.  These are all tried and true methods.

Out of necessity though, I use a different technique, a wireless in-the-ear monitor.  I'm the singer in my band, so I originally got the monitor to improve my singing and prevent me from blowing out my voice.  I've found it's also a GREAT way though to hear your harp playing on stage as well. continue reading...
