Recommendation for Vocal Mic for bass voice?

Oneply · 28th April 2007

I have a bass voice which goes from about 100 hertz to 440 hertz. I want to get a good microphone for both live performances and recording. I accompany myself on guitar and have a b-band pickup in one guitar and a Fishman Pro Pre-Blend in the other.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
I plan on using the microphone with a Baggs Core 1 amp & pre-amp when it comes out in June.<o:p></o:p>
I want to spend less than $500 US. Less would be better but I don't want to buy cheap and have to replace soon. I have spent thousands of dollars on guitars and don't want to cheap out on a microphone.<o:p></o:p>
I am a newbie. If this has already been addressed, would you kindly point me to the thread(s).
Thanks

For under $500 I would go for a SM7 or an RE20. The RE20 has a much rounder, more musical low end but I like the midrange on the 7 a lot better.

If you truly have a deep voice then Heil PR40. It goes super low without getting boomy or muddy.
