Summary: jersey slim, bluesman
Comment: i've been using the bullet for years and find its "dirty" sound just what i need. some may feel that this mic is too heavy, but i don't think it is. and since shure added a volume control i like it even better. if there is one thing i could say about the bullet that needs changing, it's the cable. it is really not secured strongly into the mic and if you happen to accidentaly step on it while you're playing, you stand a good chance of ripping it right out of the microphone. if it wasn't for that, i'd give the bullet a five star rateing

Summary: Like holding a brick - TOO BIG FOR SO LITTLE
Comment: I've been playing R&R and Blues harp in various bands, for about 30 years now, and I've got a bunch of different types of microphones. This is at the bottom of the pile, let me tell you! It's way TOO big and HEAVY to play for any length of time and make the moves that give your playing its tonal range. The earlier magnetic resonance 520D mics like James Cotton used to play, were interesting for their sound quality, but the Astatic D35 and other Shure mics, out-perform this "brick" by far.....The new Peavey might be a winner...I tried to sell my Green Bullet, but couldn't even get $50 for it on a popular auction site. Now, I wouldn't give you $10 for this "collector's" gem, it doesn't work for performers, but looks authentic enough ha ha! The joke is on whomever thinks this is a cool mic.

Summary: Awesome Sound Quality
Comment: This Harp microphone was exactly what I was looking for. It has a nice fit in the hand and is easy to hold while playing. The volume control is a must for someone who is wanting to move out front an let the harp sound fly. The quality is excellent. Now I see why this model of mircophone has been around so long and why everyone who plays seriously is using the Green Bullet.

Summary: Little Walter could play through anything...
Comment: ... and still sound great. Hate to break this to you, but you're no Little Walter! Well, at least I'm not. :) I've tried cheaper mics. This one makes a real difference. It's substantial to hold in your hand, deceptively heavy. The volume control is great...I can go from playing rhythm harmonica to taking the lead very easily. If you're serious about blues harp, this is the mic you need.

Summary: A classic...
Comment: After attempting to use several other mics to play harmonica through, I finally bought one of these and have never been sorry I did. This mic is perfect for harmonica. The range of sound is great, it is comfortable and easy to hold in your hands with the harmonica, and it doubles as a decent voice microphone. In fact, I think it adds its own flavor to any sound that is sent through it. I highly recommend this mic, and this is a good price.
