Members Bajazz Posted June 25, 2011 Members Share Posted June 25, 2011 Is it just me or are there anyone out there who wonder why drummeres, guitarists and bassist get to play with cool instruments? Microphones are all the same: Same shape and black or grey? Isn't that boring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tburn Posted June 25, 2011 Members Share Posted June 25, 2011 there are plenty of cool looking mics out there with very ugly price tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MDLMUSIC Posted June 25, 2011 Members Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm thinking that, as long as you left the part where you sing into untouched, you could do just about anything you want to the main body of a microphone to make it look more interesting. Back when I was starting out, I made a mic cradle out of a mannequin's hand I found at a thrift store. That was definitely an eye-catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microphones are all the same: Same shape and black or grey? Isn't that boring? I think some are preety good works of art, like them or not...the blue encore 300 series, the shure 55 series, the classic beauty of the regular, plain sm-58...many of the handheld condensers like the KSM series...etc...plus you can customize them plenty like many of the recording artists do with their wirelesshandhelds, etc.Heil offers custom jobs on every mic they sell, and they are some of the best out there for the job of singing, all you need is cash...

Moderators davie Posted June 25, 2011 Moderators Share Posted June 25, 2011 Come on.. The singer IS the instrument. If you wanna be pretty and such, then just throw on a Hawaiian t-shirt and you're good to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Consume Posted July 2, 2011 Members Share Posted July 2, 2011 there are plenty of cool looking mics out there with very ugly price tags. Exactly! Sennheiser 431. Shure Beta 87 (I love Condensers.) Beyer M88 Ribbon Mic AND, If you really want to get funky looking, get a Sennheiser 441, which is what we always used in the studio.... so yo ucan get that Tom Petty/Stevie Nicks' mic..
