hey me and my band just discovered a couple new brands. one called "Blue" and the other "Red". there most likely a branch of one another. I was wondering if anyone knows the quality, and if anyone has any expeirence with these brands?
if so, what are your thoughts on the microphones. i am looking into getting one.
here is the website link if you would like to check them out.

Feb 15, 2005 09:40 am Yup the Blue line is a top line of microphones with some heavy duty prices. Fine sounding mics for sure although I know little about their little 'blue ball' which is their first modified dynamic mic.
Others to look at if you are on a budget might be:
Rode
Groove Tube
ATK
MXL
Oktava
If budget is not a concern you might also look at Neuman to compare to the Blue line.

Feb 15, 2005 09:41 am Yeah, the reds are a new line by blue, not used either as far as i can recall, but the blues get a lot of good press.
Feb 15, 2005 04:04 pm the reason why no one has been using red, is because it doesnt come out until MARCH 05. lol
im sure people will when it is released. it was suppose to be released this month, but hasnt been.
is there any website links for these listed brands Walt?
Feb 15, 2005 04:08 pm google 'em, you'll find them right away.
Feb 15, 2005 04:10 pm im actually doing that right now lol.
Feb 15, 2005 11:05 pm Ya actually right now I'm savin up for the new RED mic, I'm just not gettin the sound i want from my audix om2, and going with this mic i will never have to buy a new mic again lol.....unless I'm freakin rich.
Feb 17, 2005 07:03 pm hmm good idea.
i wont be saving up for that anytime soon. only because i have bigger things to worry about. and when i mean big i mean Ampeg SVT-810E
Feb 17, 2005 07:19 pm SVT's rock!
Feb 17, 2005 07:26 pm The SVT model in the Bass POD rocks...slap an 8x10 Hartke cab model behind it and woohoo! And with no mic at all...
Feb 17, 2005 10:41 pm i am saving up for
Ampeg SVT 8x10e cab and i am going to power it with the Ampeg SVT-4pro head.
its such a good sound from what i have heard live at concerts. i love it. so thats what my goal is. to get those two things.
Feb 18, 2005 05:54 am at small local gigs as it appears you do (judging by your web site pictures) sound men tend to get kinda pissed when you have a bass amp that big.
I used to have a few hundred watt head, a 2x15 cab and a 4x10 cab. It sounded awesome, but the sound was sooooo big in small rooms the sound guy had no control over the levels. When I switched to my little Ampeg B3, 150 watts combo with 100 watts to a 15" and 50 watts to an 8", the sound was still awesome (what a butt-kickin amp), it was easier to move around, and the sound guy still had control of the sound.
Remember, the amp is just for stage sound...
Feb 20, 2005 04:07 pm lol yeah i know.
but i would also like it just because its my favourite amp, and my influences use it. i really like the sound (ive played over ampegs) and other local acts have used 810 and they didnt mind. so hopefully it wont be a problem.
