This I’m brewing up something fun with - it’s a bass microphone shootout! Still a bit of editing to do before I present it to the world, but I’ll be featuring a loop of bass from a recent single by .oxys cranking through my late 60’s V4B and an Eminence loaded Avatar 4x10, driving a bunch of dynamics and one condenser. My opinion is that the Alien8 in figure 8 mode is super sweet on bass, and one of the best choices for a dynamic cab mic. It also rips on metal guitar, but we’re focusing on bass for this one, so calm down!

Had a really good pedal day today, here are a few highlights. The #13 (legit my lucky number!) is the first time I played a fuzz that’s truly touch sensitive in ways I didn’t know fuzz could be (instant love!), and the Russian Tank sounds literally identical to my big green Russian m**f from the 90’s, and fits on my pedal board way more nicely. The delay sounds so very nice and is going to certainly be used heavily in upcoming recordings, and likely as an aux for mixing too. Also snatched a Boss Space Echo and a gorgeous sounding old Small Stone, so grew quite a bit today.

Happy from DFW airport, on my way to Egypt where there probably won’t be any fun microphones. Today’s feature is an end address SDC from Sony circa 1985. I wasn’t so sure about this one until I put it behind the drums on a very short stand and obliterated it with an 1176. It’s not a favorite flavor mic for drum tracking, and probably cool for a lot of other uses but I kinda just want to leave it right where it is since it’s getting such nasty nice tones without harsh high frequencies. The 355 is a little rare, 350s are a lot more common. Gotta go get on a plane. Have fun, be safe, use a weird mic in a weirder spot while I’m gone, wouldya?
