OT - Sennheiser E602 - other uses?

[graveleye]

I just picked up a Sennheiser E602 and I know this is primarily a low end mic, kick drums and bass cabs...but has anyone found other uses for this mic? Just curious.

I got a deal on it ($60) and needed a good kick mic, but I hooked it up and was just talking though it with cans on and it sounded so clean and clear...

I don't have an answer for you, but where can I get a Sennheiser E602 for $60?

well i picked mine up at a used music store here. Looking at the prices I have seen I feel like I got lucky. I recorded a bassist last night with it. Idoes give a mice creamy sound to the low end:)

mmmmmm..... creamy mice.

I love using cheap mics for vocals. Especially for a second background room track. But I'm wierd. No, seriously though, you can get some really interesting things going by double mic-ing vocals and then dropping out one of the takes during the chorus or verse or whatever.

Also, bassy mics are great for some lead vocals. Just make sure your singer knows what they're singing into, so they can focus on the right sounds. Oh, and try it for rythm guitar tracks.
