I'm really pleased with my Senheiser 609's for miking guitar cabs. They've a really good front to back ratio and nada off the sides. And you can really blast 'em. Nick --Original Message Text--- From: Laurie Simpson Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2006 11:41:18 -0500 I know there have been mic discussions here before and I cant remember what the suggestions were. What would people recommend as a great mic for micing guitar? Is there one out there for less than $500? Ive tried the Studio Projects C3 and, though I get a wonderful quality of sound, Im looking for that little extra punch. I also have a Shure Ksm27. Is that a better choice? Is there one I dont have which would be even better? Looking for ideas. Thanks again! Laurie
