I have "The Ball" microphone (sorry, just couldn't bring myself to say "I have a Blue Ball"). It's an ok sounding mic and just like anything else, it has it's purposes. It sounds pretty good on a clean electric guitar and some various percussion instruments, in fact, it sort of reminds me of a 57. However, I don't think that I would use it on vocals, especially live. In that situation, you'd be better off with a Beta 58 or a Sennheiser e835 (my personal favorite live vocal mic).
