I was so happy to find another harp-ler in San Diego that I invited Dane over by phone as soon as I read his post. He came over a couple hours later. The timing was good, since I had time to fix my wife breakfast beforehand, and time to load up for my gig afterwards.
I want to clarify that I don't really have a "bunch of his mics" if you are thinking of the one that Vince mentioned. I have a selection of mics, some have more gain than others, some crystal, some CR, some dynamic. I have a small selection that are available for sale at $100 each. Once I establish an ebay account, there will be pictures, but if you want to take a chance on one before that, send me a PM.
Thanks for coming over, Dane, and for the very kind words. You are a prince.
