Have you heard those Cascade "Fat Head" ribbon mics??

They sound great on guitars and as room mics and I think they go for about $400/pair.
They also sound pretty good on acoustic guitars and vocals sometimes....

There are probably a small number of companies making cheap ribbons that would be appropriate I guess... the only ones I've heard to this point are the Cascade mics mentioned... Some people on this board have said that the "Shinybox" ribbons sound pretty good also... Royers work nicely too. :) (((snicker)))
