I think I tried posting to this thread earlier but my internet crapped out cuz I can't find a reply.

I can't believe nobody's mentioned a bk-5, particularly the bk-5a.

I think I said something to the effect that if you don't have a good utility ribbon mic, buy two m160's because to me they're workhorse ribbons. But the bk-5 is the bees knees on anything distorted. Just ask old school Hollywood, they used them in scenes to handle gun blasts. They also are very haunting on things like piano.

James, I think I actually extended the offer to lend you one of mine to see if you liked how it sounds. Well, the offer's still good if interested.

Peace,
