OVERALL OPINION
I am the he gave 'a few months, I find it very versatile
I don 't use it for guitar and bass drum I like the sound it gives the voice, the more his look very 70's (remember the guy Carpentier or lux) I like a lot,
it is also very typical in the seventy's me I worship! But that is not the case can be for everyone, in short very versatile micro excellent cash very very good bass
Only complaint I have been passed without the clamp and specific Sennheiser sells more than 40 euros I think that is really Abuse22

OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Sennheiser MD 421 N for about two years. Those who know about the 421 know it is great in a number of different applications. I love using this microphone for tom tom drums, electric guitars, and bass guitar cabinets. It seems to have a slightly warmer tone than the modern 421, and is around a similar price as well. I would describe this microphone as a slightly fatter Shure SM57. The price is about the same price as a new 421 which is quite reasonable for such a great sounding microphone. The MD 421 is an industry standard in recording tom drums and has been known as a great all around dynamic mic. While I can't say this is better than any other version of the MD 421, as they are all great, this has its own look to it and if you looking into getting a used 421 this is just as good as any 421.See less30
