if you have the money, i think you would be happier with a UM70 than a 4050. it has a bit more character, puts a bit of zing in there. I had a 4050 and sold it, it failed the "key jingle" test.

I bought another one that had been reworked by Jim Williams at Audio Upgrades... it's killer. This one has been sold... I broke even - essentially got a free $500 upgrade, so I'm pretty happy. The modded one I got has a lot more top end "air" and sounds more open. Sweeeeet.

Tubby definitely used the Space Echo, as did Lee Perry. ... talk about minimilist recording -- many of Lee Perry's greatest recordings were don...

I dunno about that coppertone mic... pay $250 to sound like $25? There are tons of old crappy mics around if you want lo-fi.

You can never go wrong with a Telescaster!
