Nice setup Skinny, you get a great sound. Just how much is it worth for Annie not to find out...

Nice set up and plenty of space to have fun in. I see an electric bottom left - is that Annie's?

Great set up skinny. I can't wait for it to arrive so I don't have to send that last pic to someone who should not see it. LOL

You always have a great tone Skinny. The setup works good but what are you doing with my tuner?

I'm sure Annie is the guitar tech that pulls it all together. I won't tell, I swear.

Yep, it's been a long while. Haven't talked to you in ages, howsyagoingmate?

So far, I haven't mentioned the pic to Annie but.... I'm suffering from selective memory loss but I may make a miraculous recovery. There's no way of telling

I'm thinking about getting the Shure SM57. How do you like it?

Hi NeverTooLate, and welcome.
Short answer to your question....love it! Not as sensitive as a condenser mic, but far more versatile.

I'm thinking of the exact same setup.

Both the SM57 and the M-Audio seem to come univerally with good reviews. Are you stoked with your setup?

I'm new to all this, so I'm not sure what a condenser mic is. I'll only be recording from my amp (i.e. no singing), so is the Shure good for just that?

Thanks!
