Lamp + Shockmount = Mic Boom

This may be a bit too weak to support a big mic, but if you want one of these adjustable arms for, say, an SDC on an acoustic, do what I did. Cheapo Home Depot lamp arm attached to Gary Young's shockmount with screws. The arm is plastic, so it's very quiet. I just drilled a hole in my homemade rack cart and it fits perfectly.

Awesome! Thats exactly what I'm looking for ( see my post DIY: Mic stands)
I've already got Gary's shockmount and the Re-15 so I'm most of the way there!

Thanks Shredshine for the link!!
I have some really horrible gear!!!
