I've been looking at replacement capsules, in case it is too noisy.
I have NO clue when it comes to this (either).
There are (among others)"47", "67" and "87" type capsules for this.. Is the capsule enough?
I know how to solder, but Am I good enough..
I'll have to do some reading (again!)

I have 5 or 6 mics I've built from these guys, including an MXL 990 "mod".

You can replace the capsule or pre-amp, or both. Replacing both is not exactly a mod, you salvage the shell and basket then throw away everything else... replacing with your choice of capsule and new pre-amp (which you have to build, so I hope you can solder well.)

Highly recommended.

Thanks for the tip, Karyn.
I've been reading quite a bit about the mods for this mic.
I ended up on the same page you linked to, so seems good

I might start with just the capsule for now, and upgrade the rest at a later date.

Good day folks

I've been playing some geetarz today, and still like the S-Gear quite a bit

I've got to record geetarz for the next album (the Synth Pop band I play in) this week as well, so all rehearsal is good.
Might even use amp sims on this album.

Good day, Andy

I've played in that band for 17 years now, but it's fun (at times

)

Absolutely, Ken! Playing in any band is a whole load of fun, for the most part. Until punches start getting thrown, like you sometimes hear about haha! I'm glad to say that my brief band time was a happy one

In a moment of madness I clicked on the first page of this tripe. Looks like about 6 years worth of inserted images have kicked the (photo) bucket.

Probably just as well.

Ya, if they were unfunny at all, they prolly only were at the moment they were posted.
