WTB Sell me your amp mic! Shure PG57/SM57? or anything. [Sorted]

Branshen · October 2013

Budget of about 60. Would be very happy with a rode m3 or sm57.

Drew_TNBD · October 2013

These are supposed to be quite good:

Get a 57 I reckon. It should last forever, and it's pretty much an industry standard. In fact IMO the '58 is better because it handles vocal duties too and (whispers) I think it sounds slightly better on guitar cabs. At least, it does on my cabs for my sounds...

Branshen · October 2013

bullet-proof reliability sounds like something I'd go for. If I were to get the Rode m3, it'll double as an acoustic gutiar mic too. anyone gonna offer me one?

Drew_TNBD · October 2013

Gotta be careful with buying used SM57's. They're are a *LOT* of fakes out there.

Branshen · October 2013

Cheers for the heads up. I'll be sure to be careful.

I got a fake beta 57 myself from a seller on ebay. If it's a new '57 that's not in line with the general pricing it's probably too good to be true. Second hand it's harder to tell but some things to go on are the weight (in grams, listed on the Shure website) and handling noise/ general sound quality. Weight it with kitchen scales and check the dimensions, I think my fake '57 was about 50g lighter, had bad handling noise and sounded quite bassy and mushy.

Honestly those cheap condensers are usually disappointing to me - bad off axis response and scratchy treble/ peaky midrange though I've not tried the M3. I'd almost rather have a lo-fi dynamic mic recording of an acoustic than a cheap condenser, because at least the dynamic mic isn't trying to be big/accurate/clear sounding - it just sounds earthy and can actually have more sonic attitude.

changed the title. a ploy to get more people to view something they already saw. bump.

Drew_TNBD · October 2013

I've got two of the Rode M3's. They're really good imho.

Drew_TNBD · October 2013

(No, not selling them)

randomhandclaps · October 2013

Bulletproof reliability you say?

You can't go far wrong with an RVD30 http://www.red5audio.com/acatalog/Dynamic_Microphones.html

Audix i5 might also fit the bill if it comes in budget second hand. I don't like it as much as a 57 on guitar cab but it is cheaper and I don't think there are any fakes on ebay so you should be safe. Great build quality too.

I'm not selling mine because I like it as a snare mic.

rocknrollrelic · October 2013

I use an SM7B on guitar cabs and it's fantastic on acoustics too.. They are more expensive tho

streethawk · October 2013

I've got a barely used sennheiser e609 (silver), boxed with pouch.

5 year warranty, I believe.

Branshen · October 2013

Thanks for the offer, but I'm sorted for now. Using one of the cheap T-bone mics.

Si_ · October 2013

How you getting on with the T-Bone? looking a a mic myself..

Branshen · October 2013

It's quite good. Very solid, and sounds decent. THe one I'm using is the T-bone MB-85Beta. Here's a little something I recorded with it..

How much for this?

This is the one thats flat that you can hang over the amp instead of needing it on a stand right?

Ohhh.... Quite possibly, would the Original poster be interested in my SM57 if I did buy this one?

Branshen · November 2013

Cheers for the offer but I'm sorted for the moment.
