Ribbon Microphones
This probably isn't the best forum to ask this question but can anybody recommend me an inexpensive (sub $200) Ribbon microphone? I would be looking to use it primarily to record guitar cabinets (small watt tube amps) and perhaps as a mono drum overhead/room mic. Thanks for any advice!

The Cascade FAT HEAD is supper! Just supper! I really gives you back what you put out. So clear. So smooth. Mixed with a 87 and sonic bliss on dirty sounds. Plus they are made where I live

Re: Ribbon Microphones
I too would like to know about inexpensive ribbon mics. The ones that I've normally seen cost more than an arm and a leg.
Do you like listening to homemade music? Me too. Why don't you try one of mine?

Re: Ribbon Microphones
Other ones I'm looking at are the MXL R144 and the Nady RSM-1, Nady RSM-2, Nady RSM-4, Nady RSM-5, and Nady RSM-8A (all in the sub $200 range). The MXL R144 is getting pretty good reviews also.

MMmmmmm, A Fathead for Supper! But only for Supper, not Lunch! That would make no sense at all.
