Ooh! What Neumann did you buy? I hate to say this but, I could probably lose a couple guitars to buy a real mic and preamp. I don’t wanna but…Well, different guitars, different ears, different players, different rooms, different setups, different mics, different recording sessions, right?
I've had PRS semis with both rosewood and ebony fretboards. There's something that you mention that's true of the ebony, but the sparkle was still there with rosewood, at least in my room, with my amps, my mics, and so on.
There's a LOT less beef/tightness in the lower midrange, and the bass end is less piano-like.
This thread got me wondering if I really wanted to keep my Special. so I played it this AM against my other guitars. Very different, at all levels, clean to dirty. Wasn't happy.
In fairness, I should mention that I've been going back and forth on this for some time.
I decided I could do without it. It's outta here, already sold. Went out and bought another Neumann mic and pocketed the rest.
You'd have sold it because it's blue and lord knows what else. I sold it because playing it just didn't quite get 'there' for me. And that was purely sonics. Now I have cash burning a hole in my pocket.
I think I should spend it before it disappears.
Anyhow, before reading this post kept going back and forth over whether I’m totally full of s**t (distinct probability) deaf (how would I know?) dumb (absolutely) or if I should have Jack cherry pick guitars for me.
I want to want a PRS semi hollow.
