Ok. I was just touring in Italy and one of the venues had a vintage Italian-made dynamic mic for bass cab. It was super rad, had a lot of the things I like about an M88 on cab. But like a fool I forgot to write it down and now I can't for the life of me remember the name, Google is not turning anything up. Pretty sure it wasn't a Geloso, I think I remember it starting with a J.
A few years ago I did sound for the Minus 5 and if I remember correctly Steve Wynn had one too, since I remember him raving about this Italian mic I'd never heard of...also like a fool I forgot to write it down then.
Any ideas folks?

It's not impossible, but it is highly unlikely. Italian doesn't use the letter "J".inasilentway wrote:...I think I remember it starting with a J.
Are you sure it was an Italian mic?

FOUND IT!
It's a Lombardi 2060. The kind of Beyer-looking one without the ball grille. Guess it's not that vintage.
Pretty cool sound. The spec shows a huge bass rolloff but I don't remember hearing one, maybe there's a ton of proximity effect not shown. I was impressed and the house guy said they sound great on guitars too.
