stillplaying Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Whole weekend off and having a ball with family. On looking for Christmas presents but checked in to read what my virtual mates on here are at. Cheap mic discovery - I do parties where I give out mics to let people sing along (people love mics). I needed more and thought I'd give the Thomann SM85s a go. They're good - for skint working musos like me who need to cut corners to feed the kids. For comparison - I use SM58s and EV767a mics. Both ok, SM58 particularly forgiving and bombproof, EV better if they can actually sing. Those cheap Thomanns are as good. Kids watching "Strictly Come Dancing" - I'm in Scotland btw. Great live band (it sounds live). Really ridiculously good. My regular function band have a weekend of pubs gigs and I said no - not for that money. They're calling me Linda Evangelista - some model who said she wouldn't get out of bed for less than ... anyway, not even sure if they've good the name right. Off for another few beers and a Thai curry. Life's good. I'm the piano player "off of" Borrowed Books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what you are saying though. Life is fleeting. You will never get those moments back that you spend with your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it this one? http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_mb85_beta.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverTooLate Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Is it this one? http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_mb85_beta.htm I think it's probably this one instead: http://www.thomann.de/gb/t-bone_mb85.htm I'm using one of those for my backing vocals. Still would like to be able to turn it up some more before I get feedback, but I blame that on my weak voice rather than the microphone. Haven't tried whether a real SM58 makes any difference.

For me, I watch it for Flavia Cacacae. When that girl Tangos, the whole world stops revolving and watches, mouth agape. Sad to hear she was leaving. ..Joe Setup: Korg Kronos 61, Roland XV-88, Korg Triton-Rack, Motif-Rack, Korg N1r, Alesis QSR, Roland M-GS64 Yamaha KX-88, KX76, Roland Super-JX, E-Mu Longboard 61, Kawai K1II, Kawai K4.
