Hey, probably the wrong forum I know, but it's pretty relevant.

Does anyone know what this is? I know it's a microphone (:rolleyes: ) but what sort?

It's the one Les uses on the Hallucino-Genetics tour.

Cheers in advance

Sort of reminds me of an acorn.

Sorry, I don't know.

Probably some sort of vocal effect, Les is a very strange man so it could be anything.

he didnt mention anything about what it does but when you hear it it kinda distorts his voice. i think he uses it in my friend fats. but maybe try searching bullet mic on google to find out more

I thought it was a harmonica mic.

And it was Mark Sandman, Late bassist of Morphine, that used it.

I love Morphine.

I didn't know Mark was dead though.

Googled it.

:D

Woo, http://mixonline.com/livesound/tours/audio_primus/

All vocal mics are Shure SM57s with a Shure 520DX on Claypool's Green Bullet harmonica mic for an effects mic. Claypool also has a wireless helmet mic on one song. “I think it is a Radio Shack cellular headset microphone with a Shure wireless unit.”

Cheers guys

green bullet, it picks up every noise in the room. some people swear by them, I have had no good experiences with them.

I'm pretty sure it's just for vocal effects, someone told me that anyway.
