    • The Green Bullet Microphone
As a harmonica player I have used a Green Bullet microphone for over 35 years. This is my second Green Bullet as I feel it is the best microphone for harmonica amplification.

It`s just what the jam doctor ordered! Flippin awesome! Been playing harp a long time and always wanted one of these, but i live way out here in the waste lands. So i never have seen one in the small town shops. Thanks to Amazon I finally have access to groovy stuff. The tone is great. fit and finish is great. the volume knob is mighty handy. A friend played one of the old ones back in the late 70s through a Fender Champ. This new Bullet does not have quite as much rasp as that old one but i think it sounds better on a clean Bassman. ... show more

    • F'ing amazing
Easy to use, turn dial on bottom lets your voice ring through. Nice 2lb weight in your hand with a generous length in cord to walk around. I use this as a performance mic, to be honest it does muffle quiet a bit so just be prepared to speak close into the mic, like uncomfortably close. But i use a mini honey amp and fx pedals to give myself a dope unique sound. Out of all my instrumental purchases, this is my favorite. ... show more

    • Mostly great
While the sound and build are as good as everyone says, there are two blatant flaws, both stemming from the same place: the volume knob. Dialing the volume knob results in a loud static-y noise broadcast from the amp, which completely undermines the purpose of having live local volume control. I returned the first one I got, assuming it was defective, but alas the replacement has the same issue. Either this is a major design flaw, or the defect is so commonplace as to de facto make it a part of the design. The other defect stems from the fact that the knob, which is a recent addition, replaced what used to be a threaded hole where conceivably one could rig a connection to a mic stand. Now one has to order a third-party plastic piece and hope for the best. This seems like a big oversight, for although this is billed as a harmonica mic, many if not most harp players are also vocalists who need to put the mic down sometimes. Those two defects aside, it is still a great relief to have high-quality electronics inside a satisfyingly solid and heavy metal housing, the likes of which are rarely still seen. Even the fact that this is a non-cardioid microphone that picks up all kinds of background noise adds to its old-school charm. UPDATE: After a few sessions of good use, the static noise on the volume knob went away, so I revise my rating up to 41/2 stars. Presumably it just need to loosen up and self-lubricate. ... show more
