I was unfamiliar with the VP64A (we're exclusively 58 and 87A users). Interesting mic: Description The Shure VP64A dynamic microphone is your go-to choice for professional audio and video production. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures effortless, uniform sound capture whether on-axis or off, eliminating the need for precise alignment. Designed for both indoor and outdoor settings, the VP64A excels in challenging environments thanks to its water-resistant mesh grille, making it a reliable companion for broadcast journalists and filmmakers alike. With a tailored frequency response featuring an upper-midrange presence bump, this mic enhances speech intelligibility, delivering clear and crisp audio. The use of a neodymium magnet in its cartridge enhances output while maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring your recordings are always pristine. The internal rubber isolation mount significantly reduces handling noise, making it ideal for handheld use. Aesthetically pleasing for on-camera applications, the VP64A's sleek design offers not just great looks but also ergonomic comfort for prolonged use. It comes equipped with a windscreen to minimize pop and wind noise, ensuring your recordings remain clear regardless of the conditions. Key Features: Omnidirectional polar pattern for consistent sound pickup Neodymium magnet for high output and improved signal-to-noise ratio Tailored frequency response with presence rise for enhanced speech clarity Internal rubber isolation mount for reduced handling noise Water-resistant mesh grille for use in challenging weather conditions Includes windscreen for additional pop and wind noise reduction Ideal for on-camera use with a comfortable, attractive design Definitely an attractive price for someone needing omni-patterned mics.

Frank was a huge influence on my playing and my first real concert back in the late 70s. Glad to see him playing out again.

Thanks, I love the way he plays

I know, this is a long shot, but maybe someone here needs them: I am selling two Shure VP64A microphones, barely used (some slight wear/scratches on the surface). They go for around 180 Euro a piece here in Germany, I'd like to have 200€ for both of them. Coma with two 3m XLR cables blue/red). We can discuss payment and shipping.

I saw Type O Negative at an Ozzfest. I have a Peavey M.A.X. bass head like Peter Steele used.

I'm thinking about going.... 2 weeks ish... 4 hr drive each way mmm

So @LucSulla —. If I understand correctly, You’re going to marry the V when it’s done?

What? I love my quad cortex. Other stuff asleep or being sold.

I know this is usually a scam of some type but I got a text asking who I was from a Canadian number. saying they have this number in an old phone. I know I've communicated with a few people here, and some from Canada so if you recently got a new phone and texted someone, let me know and we can check the phone numbers. Most likely a scam but I am good with numbers (duh) and this one rings a bell but I can't find it in my files. ends with 2264

Dude, I cannot wait to see this V!

The absolute best. This is why I have tinnitus.

Caught Type-O several times; once opening for Danzig in Pittsburgh (if I recall correctly) and once headlining in Philly on Halloween night at the Troc. That show was among my top 5 most memorable concerts!!

Oh, yeah. '84-'90. Saw everybody there. Of note was a Mentors show that was unreal. Guitarist, Sickie Wifebeater, was ripping it up on top of their inherent silliness.

I saw Type- O in 1994 At a tiny venue called Berkeley Square on university Avenue in Berkeley CA.hey @Rob did you ever make it to the square?? At one point Peter Steele was razzing the guitar player for dilly dallying between songs, and I Quote: Hey Ritchie, hey Ritchie Blackmore, Over here, hey Ritchie ( f-ing hilarious!). They were great ( and played Seals and Croft’s Summer Breeze)! I saw an early version of the band ‘Crowbar’ at the same venue a few years later.

I say the same thing for fixed bridge/hard tails.

Savatage/Metal Church/Armored Saint. That's a dream bill we'll never see in the States. Ah, well...two outta three ain't bad.

Don‘t talk about that. I got tickets for the 92 or 93 show of Sava in Berlin. I stupidly sold them in order to see something else the night before the show. A few months later Chris Oliva died…

Haha. The only FR I'm even tempted by is a Baby Floyd. I have no use for what an FR does. It's a solution to a problem I don't have.

Shishkovs deserve special mention!

Everyone needs at least one Floyd.

Another one surfaced.
