| Nice rig.
I was just sitting here picking some tunes thinking that the $17 microphone I have ain't all that great; then I put the guitar down and pretty much opened this thread..lol |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | True story . . . our sound engineer is a gearaholic, particularly old mics. One of his colleagues reported that his neighbor's husband collected gear for years, then passed away, and his widow wanted to sell an expensive mic. He went to take a look and found it to be a vintage Neumann in original packaging which he was willing to buy on the spot. She then asked if he wanted any more and dug out a cardbox box full of loose "stuff". He took a quick look and found some more Neumanns scattered in the box, so he said yes and paid $2800 for the entire lot. I should see him tomorrow and will ask for a list of what he ended up with. It means little to me, but you Neumann fans might find it interesting. |
