I've been U47 free since day one.

I hope to solve that problem as soon as I learn to shit money.

As soon as the printing press in my shed gets going, I may buy one, or TWO!

I'm like caffeine in the old 7up commercials when it comes to U47s...
Never had it, never will.

I mod'd all of mine into Oktava MK-319s

Yeah, ancient German condenser mikes: can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em, can't afford 'em, anyway.

But like, how are you going to record the kick drum?

You guys are nutz. I could make a decent record with nothing but u47s - you know, if I HAD too.

I can't think of a single thing I record I hate so much as to use a u47 on it.

Hey Hey!

Ah, those old 47s aren't so bad. If it's all I've got to work with I just take the transformer out and it opens right up.

I heard they are basically just a U-87 withou the built-in pop filter.

Try taking the tube out. That'll really make it quiet!

the new apex ones have really nice tubes for that "radio" sound.
