I've been using a Green Bullet for a couple of months now, and I
gotta say I love it. It has a high output, and I like the way
it fits in my hand (someone with smaller hands might have trouble
cupping it tightly, however). And for an added bonus, having a
solid hunk of heavy metal in your hand increases your sense of
security when playing in certain dives.

My only complaint about it is that I wish it had a
low/high impedance switch on it, rather than making you rewire
it. I want to be able to play it both ways; through my amplifier
(which has both low and high inputs), and through various
PA systems (which may or may not have high impedance/unbalanced
inputs).
