WEEKLY TIP (FOR HALLOWEEN & BEYOND)

So, you can blow harp thru your Halloween mask or make-up. I'm proud of you. That could prove to be a real show-stopping gimmick. Halloween also provides a point of related mic discussion -and my resulting suggestion: DON'T PACK YOUR PIE HOLE WITH TRICK-OR-TREAT CANDY or OTHER FOODSTUFFS AND THEN DROP DIRECTLY INTO SING & PLAY MODE! The build-up of flotsam in your harps will be obvious (especially for those of you who subscribe to the No-Soak / No-Rinse rule). continue reading...

Any opinions on this mic. I have an opportunity to buy one for $100.00. I looked up some info on it, and from the pic the seller emailed me, it looks like like it might be a dynamic element.

I have a green bullet circa 1998. Is this just going to sound like a Shure GB anyway?

I am going to go play it tomorrow and compare it, but I just wanted to see if you had any thoughts.
