Picked up a `74 Fender Vibrolux reverb for $80 back in about 91, when CBS Fender amps (according to conventional wisdom) were the worst crap around.

How about a reissue Fender Bassman, makes a nice sounding recording/practice amp for bass (as long as you don't play too loud), and a killer guitar amp.

"Some wierd solid state Italian amp"
Preferably with a really bad spring reverb, instant "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly"
LEM, DNS, FBT are names I dimly recall plugging into in the seventies, and hastily unplugging again.

A decent Fender P-bass and throw out the 1980 vintage AriaProII hanging on the wall.

Depends really on how much you pay for the 103 vs. the 414 or other alternatives. I have a 103 and use it on voice, acc. guitars, mono drum overhead, grand piano and other stuff, and it always sounds fine to me and people who listen to my recordings. It also seems to blend in well in a mix. But then...

Thank you Mr Professor for your reply, I never thought of doing that.

Hi. This is my first posting on this forum. Has anybody tried using any of the new Chinese ribbon mics. (Nady, Shiny Box, Golden Age, T-Bone, same thing, different names) as side microphone in an MS array for recording drums, grand piano, or whatever? Are the forward and backward lobes equal or do t...
