Ok, I've got one for you - at my last rehearsal, getting ready to finally record to tape instead of the damn computer, toward the end of the session, talking to my harmonica player about microphones. She has a couple od Green Bullets and I have an immaculate vintage '60s Shure 545L, which is the lavalier version of the Unidyne III which became the SM57 (the old ones sound better though) with the thin attached cable and short body. Anyway I was asking her why she brought the bullet when she'd been using the 545 for the last couple of sessions and everybody preferred the tone, including her. Her answer: "Well I was worried that all the sound wouldn't get through that skinny cable. My bullet has a much fatter one."
