    [url="http://recordinghacks.com/microphones/Shure/SM57"]http://recordinghacks.com/microphones/Shure/SM57[/url] "[i]What are popular mods for the SM57 (also works for SM58)[/i] Remove the transformer. This is a 15-minute mod that was described in detail in the Mar/Apr 2006 issue (#52) of [url="http://tapeop.com/"][color="#901d1d"]TapeOp[/color][/url]; essentially, use boiling water or a heat gun to soften the glue holding the transformer in the bottom half of the mic body (note: [b]do not[/b] boil the capsule), then connect the wires from the XLR jack straight to the capsule This mod is reported to extend the frequency range of the mic, especially at the low end. It reduces the midrange honk. Some modders claim it improves transient response. However, it lowers the mic’s output by about 10dB (perhaps making it unsuitable for quiet sources)."

    a mate of mine is a pro sound chap on a budget and is in a band with a screamer, he did something like took an sm58 apart and boiled the electrical innerds (excluding the diaphragm obviously) to get rid of something (I can't remember what) but apparently it's made a huge difference to the sound, got rid of the nasty mid hump and made it way better for screaming...try googling it...?

    A pair of planet Waves jack to jacks with gold plated jack ends. 20ft in length, superb condition, selling cos I've switched to obbm's cables and have no space to keep these... A great upgrade from piranha and other brands, were £25 each when new, they've had very light use and show no signs of any wear... £15 each incl postage or £25 for the pair? offers...?

    [quote name='Bassist677' timestamp='1318619361' post='1404557'] I eventually chose the Aspiration Elite and aside form a bit of light fret work and a set up, it's being gigged regularly and sounds excellent. Here's a pic of it in action [/quote] the mahogany one yes? looks purdy!

    Bought this recently from oldslapper, this is a USA G&L, a real one, noticeably better than the tribute ones (nice as they are!), it's lovely but doesn't do a different enough job from my Ray5 to warrant it being a keeper...the sound is fat and strong, the Ernie Ball flats on it don't compromise any of the available top end, it still slaps really well! Black with Rosewood fingerboard, single humbucking pickup, significantly more output than Musicman equivalent (had to back of preamp gain a couple of notches!)... One very very minor ding on the end of the headstock (barely noticeable - more of a slight indentation, you can only spot it by running your finger over it) and one mark in the finish on the upper horn. Nothing whatsoever to affect sound or playability. The balance is superb as usual from G&L, the neck is fantastic to play (nice and fast), played it at one practice and really enjoyed it, as I said before though it just doesn't sound different enough from my Ray5...

    Do you reckon folks might be interested in the clean blend to go with their fuzz pedal?
  25. andydye
