I'm curious since this and a number of other products are now built by Boutique Amps Distribution. Does anyone know who owns/runs them? Their website has zero info the company. Is it just me or is that weird? It seems purposeful that they don't have this info anywhere.

Shure is always good. Lots of other good ones too. I like the Audix stuff - OM2, OM5 are both really good and also hypercardioid like the Betas. If price really isn't a concern, Neumann makes really nice condenser mic, the KMS 105. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/KMS105Nickel--neumann-kms-105-handheld-condenser-microphone-nickel and Telefunken makes one as well, though I haven't heard it. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/M80Blk--telefunken-m80-handheld-dynamic-vocal-microphone-black Also, the EV N/D 767 is nice, but they haven't made it in a while, you'll have to hunt for one. The newer replacement for that I've read a couple of unfavorable reviews.

What is this language you speak?

That's what I'd do. No matter how careful you are, if you're outside, you can't be sure, and why risk it when you have other tools that will do the job?

Sounds great! What's your setup?

Saw this on the GuitarCenter site: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Hamer/Vintage-1980-Standard-Solid-Body-Electric-Guitar.gc Checkerboard Special with what looks like a G&L trem on it and replacement pickups. And GC calls it a Standard.

Could be World Music Instruments(?). That's who built the PRS SE line when they were made there. Since PRS moved the SEs from Korea to Indonesia and China, World Music was probably ready to build something similar.

That's awesome. Not sure why those don't photograph well. Post up some pics once it's all fixed up.

67 is too young. My mother and one of her sisters both died at that age. I'm glad that he was able to have a little bit of that time with his family that he clearly wanted.

Is there one from out in the house somewhere? Sounds like we're hearing the onstage monitor. Out of the mains it may be sweet sounding. I don't think pride or anything has to do with it. I think he just likes doing it and if he can line stuff up, he'll do it. To be fair, it's not like Paul Stanley sounds great these days either.

Thanks, Joe, I actually emailed John asking if everything was included - saddles, screws, springs etc. and he said it is, so I placed an order.

No problem. Glad it worked out! So, was that one actually purple? That pickup combo is a good one.

At least it's not the front?

Yeah, who does? Famous last words.

I seldom notice anyone say they're permanently thinning the herd. 😁
