I use it for a little over a month-mounted handle on a Gibson Explorer with an EMG-81 bridge. Without saying that I have tried many mics before, even when I had some test before I DCID, and in particular the EMG 85.

The particularity of this microphone is to be prcis like clockwork. It's not complicated I cover my guitar since I was the micro: the sounds are crystal clear, warm, round, prcis, bright, and they get little thanks to tone up a range of incisive flapping in the sweet sweet.

In fact, j'tais plutt party on a classic kit Zakk Wylde (81/85) or a type Hammett (81/81) or Kerry King (81/81 knob with "more gain for the distortion in your face "), and I am INTERESTED in 60 by looking a little the config of the master-es Explorer, namely James Hetfield, Fidler in tandem from its 81/60 beginners. And I understood: with a 81/85 or 81/81, it is somewhat scratch Specializes in the registry metal / rock, with the big sound that spot super efficient. The 60 saves in versatility and depth of play, going to tickle records that would sound wrong without it.

The report price is trs good quality I think. Yes, it is not given but all is clean, well done, well done, a finger is mounted in the nose, the record is even translated in French, then the price n ' fMeasure is not my opinion.

If I had to redo this choice? Hsitation no, yes. The 60 is thundering, patant, stunning, intriguing. Most people who heard or tried my guitar made me kind of rflexions "What is that sound ?!?", but still positive, like" but it's terrible, what's ?. " Try it, it's really a great product. But I think it is more effective on guitars such as Explorer or LP on Ibanez or Jackson ...
