Members grace_slick Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 My mic came with its cord (Shure SM58) and it plugs into my audio interface, which then goes into the PC, but same thing really, as Duke said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jvardon Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Hey guys, just got back from Zongo Lane and I actually found a whole bunch of Shure SM58. Most of the music shops (Zongo lane is the music district) that had mic had them.Thanks for the advice guys.^_^.I'm just about to do my first recordings on it.

Members jvardon Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Arrrghhh!!!Sorry, false alarm. Just did a bit of post shopping checking and I bought a fake.T_T.Gonna take it back and look some more.I should have guessed too since it cost 35 Cedis which is around $25.Being scammed is painful.

Moderators davie Posted December 4, 2010 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2010 ugh.. i hate that. Yeah, I've hear about fakes circulating as well. Can you still return it though? And yeah, there's no way a SM58 would be sold for that low of a price unless it was fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jvardon Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 I'm hope so. I did get a receipt but shops in Ghana hate, loathe and above all, despise returns.Most places just don't do them at all.I figured it might be stolen or a factory reject cause of some aesthetic problem. I got my Yamaha keyboard from the same area and it was genuine. I get my shoes down the road and they're real too even though they're really cheap compared to actual prices.Chances are though, that if this shop had fakes. All the other shops in the area will too so I'll have to go to one of the shops run by Lebanese or Indian people. They import everything so everything costs a fortune. I'll be lucky if I get it for under $100 in one of those shops.Off to the shops!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jvardon Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Ugh, you're one of those people that always generalize africa into one big country. there are over 50 countries, and they're all different so don't generalize. Anyway, I can't buy things online in GHANA.Firstly no website takes a Ghanaian bank card even though we have Standard Chartered and Barclay's here.And next to no website will ship to GHANA which is why I wont be using anyone else's credit card.

Members jvardon Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Why am I not surprised..............I didn't want to dislike you,I'd noticed in the past that you can be blunt, abrupt and sometimes, plain rude.People said you were like that most of the time. I didn't think people could be that bad.I've sat back and watched your quarrel with beach and it has shown me what aplain and common ASS you can be. Why was that picture necessary? Does it make you feel better, now that you'veshown me how ignorant, obtuse and dense you are?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DukeOfBoom Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 it's a joke you nut.just like I don't get offended by this stereotype: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jvardon Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 It's actually quite offensive and because a large portion of America actually believes that kind of thing, I couldn't be sure you weren't one of them. Everyone knows the "Americans are fat" stereotype is just that, a stereotype, not true. It is a joke.But people actually think that Africa is still a jungle. One can even tell that that graph was made by an American because there are next to no tigers in Africa. We've got lions though. I've chatted to people online who were amazed to find out that I was using a laptop. A friend of mine came across some who was shocked that we had computers even though they were chatting ONLINE!!What did these people have in common? They were American. They actually believe the whole jungle idea so it is offensive because coming from most Americans, it's not a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amx13 Posted December 6, 2010 Members Share Posted December 6, 2010 Amusing? Come on, jvardon had just stated he felt disrespected by the image and still find it amusing? I know how frustrating is not being able to get all the gear like you guys in the us can...I live in Mexico, and even though we are so near it's really hard to get some brands around here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grace_slick Posted December 6, 2010 Members Share Posted December 6, 2010 Even here in Australia it's annoying sometimes. We can get pretty much all the same gear, but it's about 10 x the price of the US...and even if we try and get around that and order online from America, they charge us billions in postage costs!
