Keith Parker reviews Silverfish Harp Mics in the Harmonica World mag (Aug-Sept 2020):
” I was expecting a sound reminiscent of a Shure Green Bullet, but no, WOW! I was not expecting this – a glorious fat crunch with good bass and very very hot, I couldn’t put it down I had to keep playing and I even had to turn it down a bit and you don’t hear electric harp players say that very often. I know I shouldn’t compare mics and players from the past – but just think Paul Butterfield and the Pistol 545″

Feedback from harmonica players who use a Silver Bullet microphone

Rohan Kriwaczek, London UK (Silver Bullet Dynamic | Special II – Dirty 50KΩ/Clean 4KΩ switchable)

The Mic has arrived safe and sound. It looks and sounds fantastic. And with the switch, it’s like having a bridge and neck pickup. Great. Many thanks indeed, All the very best to you, Rohan K.

Giovanni De Mattia, Milano Italy (Silver Bullet Dynamic | Special II – Dirty 50KΩ/Clean 4KΩ switchable)

Hi Rick, I want to give you a feedback on the harmonica after I’ve tried it several times. The sound is very nice and powerful and manages to be both sweet and scratchy when needed. It’s really easy to grip, weighs little and is beautiful! I love it! …. I am very happy to have purchased it.

Congratulations Rick, well done. Regards Giovanni

,MICHAEL ELMOZNINO, CT, US (Silver Bullet Dynamic | Special II – Dirty 50KΩ/Clean 4KΩ switchable)

Hi Rick,  Just letting you know that the mic arrived yesterday. I only had time after work to retrieve it from the mailbox before I had to head out for the evening, so I didn’t have time to take it for a spin. I did get a chance to open it up, so I can say that it is a beautiful bit of craftsmanship! Love the looks of it and looking forward to playing it, hopefully tonight. Thanks again, ME

(Silver Bullet Dynamic | Standard Mini Harp Mic 50KΩ Special III Dirty/Lo-Fi)

Hello Rick,

Just wanted to let you know I got the microphone last week….

it is a real piece of art – it looks absolutely stunning- and it definitely solves the two main issues I have with my Shure green bullet: The Silver Bullet is much lighter and smaller than the Shure. A big relief!

Regarding the tone,… I am just a beginner so for what it’s worth: the sound is definitely much richer than the Shure with more bottom end. I like it very much.

My feeling is also that it is not really an issue of being better or worse compared to the Shure (not everything in life needs to be black or white). I feel like it can be a real addition to the Shure where in certain circumstances the Shure might be more suitable, for example to cut through the mix while playing with a band (???). But when it’s just the sound of the harmonica, the Silver Bullet outclasses the Shure. No doubt about that. I will figure all of this out in the future.

Anyway, to me the Silver Bullet is a spark of light in these dark-winter-Covid-times.😃 I think you make superb microphones and I admire your craftsmanship!

Best wishes,
Hugo

“Hello Rick!
Silver Bullet safely arrived – and I`m very pleased with it!
As I expected – good looking and good to hold and cup! I have also now – as a little beginning – played it through both smaller an bigger amps – tube and solid state ones. And I´m surprised by how good it sounds!
I mostly use high Z elements – and on full volume on the mic VC – with amp dialled into feed-limit. So – if anything – I always must turn VC down – never up from the starting point. I find that the Silver Bullet can compete with all of my favourite harp-mics – both dynamic and crystals!
I don`t use the clean sound very much – but it is good to have that possibility in the same mic! And by just pushing the button in the bottom you have a quick release if there should be a sudden feedback-noise in dirty-mode! I look forward to take it to the stage – looking special and sounding good! 🙂

Thank you for making these!
Best regards Tor”

Hi Rick,
The mic turned up last week and all is well, REALLY well. Seven days drawing, blowing, bending and I Love it. To my ear it has its own lovely tone which as an enthusiastic practising beginner will get me on my amplified way. The gain knob is firm, sensitive, cupping is great and very comfortable to hold. I knew I would get great crunch but with some tweaking of mic and amp dials I’m finding my little Silverfish can be quite a sweet clean lady as well.
Kind regards and much appreciation for the way you have dealt with my purchase.
Best wishes from a happy customer.
Ian

Hi Rick,

Many thanks for your email messages and a big thank you for the Silver Bullet which arrived safely yesterday.

The Silver Bullet sounds great, dirty or clean, which in my humble view, sounds even better than my other small silverfish mic (the one about the size of a Marine Band) which I bought at eBay some time ago (I think its from you as well). As an amateur, I like the Silver Bullet particularly becoz of its good rubber/leather insulation which reduced much handling noises. The lower volume of the clean tone makes it more controllable and subtle in playing country things, which is good (I compensate the lower volume a bit by a Jason Ricci Clean Cat booster instead of turning up the gain, which works great). The raw look of the mic matches well with its bluesy tone too. I am looking forward to driving the mic in a gig session which anyhow won’t be possible in these days.

My only suggestion is that it may be more desirable to have a selection switch which can indicate the “dirty” or “clean” mode. So we can have a final check before playing. However, this is hard given the tiny knob involved.

Happy harmonic playing!
Warmest regards,
Andy

Silver Bullet Dynamic | Special Mini 50KΩ Dirty/Lo-Fi

Rick,
As promised here is an early feedback piece for you to place (or not) where works best for you.

I am still finding my way with amplified harmonica and up to now have used an old Shure Realisric stick Mic and a Superlrux Green bullet. Both are ok but that is the point – ok!
My hands are quite small and even though I had seen online much talk of the tonal (breakup) impact of a good cup, I wasn’t getting that at this stage in my playing. I needed a smaller Mic. Did research and liked the small company artisan thing that Silverfish presented. Didn’t know which of the medium or high impedance mini Mic was best for me. A couple of very quickly answered email exchanges with Rick left me confident which to choose. I got the high impedance.

In use: so far it is great. I can get a clean tone and if I really wanted I could gain that all the way to Motorhead. Guess what…the cup thing isn’t a myth I just couldn’t do that with the other mics. Should also mention build (great) and weight (all day playing easy). Rick included a rubber gaiter which works really well for grip, although I doubt grip would be an issue without. It is the only part I can see would possibly need replacing after a year or two (I am keeping this Mic for life!) But I am sure replacements are available.
Great Mic, great service, don’t hesitate.

Rick.. You will see I am very pleased. Thanks and take care.

Hi Rick
Gave mic a bit of test run Yesterday, Played it with a mini amp at start and after talk did a better test with a slightly bigger amp but still small and solid state.. I’m simply working with what I’ve got. It’s hard with my camera sound to give a true picture but that’s how I see it.There are lots you can do with it but may be others have shown that with high end gear. I didn’t want to get into a coaching situation..
let me know if you like the video

Silverfish ‘Silver Bullet’ harmonica Microphone Test Drive

Hi Rick
Managed to take the mic for 30 run yesterday out and 30 min inside test run. Holy shit man, excellent in fact I was struggling to handle it, I wasn’t fully prepared.,.Yes this mic has got attitude tons of it , benefits from the French Napoleonic cavalry temperament; impetuous. Paint straight onto the canvass full on. I like that. OK Iv’e work to do on it to get it where I want it but a lot of scope. After the second session I was starting to hear me in it. There is width in the signal and I can here that in a mini amp and larger solid state never mind a valve amp.

Update on your excellent Mic: … Your mic was the business … I reckon I could cut it with anyone on stage. yeah I know it ain’t like the old 520 bullets or Astatic but it’s got it’s own thing going on which is as good if not better. It’s midrange sweet spot excellent. I am referring to single note attacks. The block chord sounds I’m adjusting to suit working on the harmonics to get them where I want them to suit the mic. Anyway thought I’d share this. Best regards

Modern Blues Harmonica – great feedback within post from Tim Douthit and Bob Sanford
Tim Douthit:
Rick Park (Silverfish Microphones) makes a great set of microphones. I have several. His hi-Z model is my go-to gigging mic.

Bob Sanford
Luciano, I agree completely with your review! I recently purchased the same “Combo” ( dirty and clean) model you referred to and it is quickly becoming my go-to mic… I love the “on-the-fly” switchability that lets me change the entire character of the sound I’m producing with the push of a button… sometimes I’ll start playing with the 4 ohm element until my solo when I switch to the 50 ohm for little extra punch and grit! It’s a solid, well made, lighter that most, mic and I’m glad to have it in my stable along with my Strnad Tsunami, my Slim-X 777s and my Astatic W-30! Oh, and the steampunk design puts it in a class of its own!!

Rick,

I plugged it in. Grabbed my harp. Awesome feeling in my hand. Prefect size. Fired up the amp. Cupped my hands over the mic and harp. Turned on a blues backing track…..
And magic happened.
Just what I wanted. Sound is prefect.

Now onto a little more practice for my gig in three weeks.

Thank you!!!!! I love the mic!

Hi Rick,
My mic arrived on Monday, I had a quick blast Tuesday and got stuck into it after work tonight.
I love this mic, its louder than i expected, and has great tone. Its very light and good to hold. I played for 2 hours straight tonight, no hand cramps. It looks great too, very earthy. Also thanks for the leather case, it offers good protection and also looks great.
Thanks again Rick on a great product, i would recommend these mics to anyone. regards Steve

Buenos dias Rick ?,
Trust this message finds you and yours both safe and fighting fit.
Received the Silver Bullet mic about 1 week or so back – bloody marvellous! At first glance, a quality looking build and fits my hand really well, which help with cupping. Also, got my Fender mic lead. So the last piece of the jigsaw is finding a home practice amp so I can really test the mic out…..
Take it easy y hasta luego, Mick

One word AWESOME !
It arrived on time as promised. I plugged it into my Fender champ 5 watt tube amp and miked it up through the PA. Great volume with no loss of tone. It was definitely the deep blues sound I was looking for ! Sorry won’t be recommending as I want to be the only one with this amazing sound !! So thanks Rick

Just wanted to let you know that after having owned and played the silverfish microphone for some time now, and I am very pleased with it. I have used it through my PA and a little Pignose and recently through a Dynacord JAZZ and it always sound as great as I hoped. So I am very pleased with the purchase.

Rick, I received the mic and really like it. It is very light and easy to hold. I’ve been playing it directly into an 8 watt Z amp (tube with 15 inch speaker). The sound is great. The difference between the high and low impedance is really cool and very noticeable….

I played the new mic at a three hour jam session in NYC Saturday night and received a compliment on the sound quality from one of the guitarists. This guy builds amps so has an appreciation for sound and electronics. You’ve got a great product!

Thank you! Joe

Hello Rick, I must admit, I am not the harmonica Player in our duo. He is 76 years old, never learned to speak English and he hates to buy something on the Internet ? But anyway, I want to tell you about the shine in his eyes (and in mine as well) hearing the full sound of the dirty version of the mic. And when he has to do some background vocals, he easily switches to “clean“.

That is good enough for that and keeps him mobile with his wireless system. Last but not least, he is really pleased with the smooth feeling in his hands. He likes the design, the size (in his small hands) and the leather wrapping. So we are looking forward to our next gig on 6. December.

Kind regards

Hi Rick,
Mic has turned up and looks and sounds great. Thanks for including all the extra stuff I really appreciate it. Had a play into a really small pocket amp and its sounds fantastic. Now just the choice of a small harp amp or pedals into a powered speaker/PA………..decisions decisions.
Once I’ve given it a thorough workout Ill let you know how it goes

Recently bought one of your “dirty” mics. I use vintage mics from Astatic, Shure, and Turner. I also own a Bulletini and a Bottle of Blues.
I didn’t know what to expect from your mic so I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least.

Looks: Gorgeous
I have relatively small hands and the mic is a pleasure to hold.

Sound:? Wow is what first came to mind. It took one gig using it to fall in love with it! I’ve played it through a vintage Gibson Maestro GA-40, a Harp Train 10, and a Stage 5 Ronnie Shellist Signature amp and it sounds amazing with them all. Fat tone, crunchy, dirty, even clean by turning the volume down a bit.
I’m so glad I’ve added this mic to my collection! Thanks!

Silver Bullet Dynamic | Special – Dirty 50KΩ/Clean 4KΩ switchable
Rick, played my first gig this weekend and as you say, it´s lovely piece of gear. Bit bigger than what I thought but even with my small hands it doesn’t get uncomfortable as it is light and grips well.

I´m using it through a VOX AC4TV which I was intending to mod, changing capacitors and valves, but now I don’t think I will bother, because with this mic I get the crunch that I like and feedback doesn’t seem to be an issue. Via a cheap Chinese spring reverb pedal, the tone is great. Clean has also a great tone.

Sometimes it´s worth paying a bit more. Great mic very happy and please keep me posted on the new gear you bring out.

Cheers, Clive

Your microphone arrived today. Fast shipping from “across the pond” I was surprised. I like the size and weight. As you mention, it looks a little Steampunk, which I like. Sounds real good with my small easy to carry setup. High Z is what I need with only a 5 watt amp. It is nice that I do not need any adapters for my cordless setup.

Thanks

(Silver Bullet Dynamic | High-Z Dirty – wood)
Hi Rick,
The microphone did indeed arrive today, and I’d like to say a huge thank you to you for building such a brilliant bit of kit. I want to thank you too for the advice you gave to help me choose it.

I won’t be able to gig the microphone for a couple of weeks or so, so I can’t tell you yet. about how I find it in the live situation, but so far in my front room I’m really impressed with the sound possibilities. I’ve played it straight through the Quilter Micro Block at various ‘Tri Q’ settings (that’s a kind of EQ adjustment from clean to dirty), and it sounds really good, and at the clean end of things, and then through a Joyo American Sound pedal it sounds distorted and honky, maybe a tad to much for me, but I know I can get that tone if the band needs it, and through a reverb pedal it sounds very interesting, especially tweaking the mic’s gain control, which is a lovely addition.

The mic is good to hold, has a nice heft, looks great etc etc, I’m sure all your customers rave about it and deservedly so!

So – so far so good. I was almost certainly going to buy a different brand of mic because I’d only seen yours in passing on eBay and had no idea whether they’s be any good compared to say a Shaker or a Shure, and I can’t even remember what made me reconsider. But more harp players should know about your mics, basically!

Anyway, I’ll stop there, send you my heartfelt thanks again, and if you want me to bore you with how it performs in my next gig (quiet pub) I will. Cheers,
Huw

Further feedback from Huw:
Hi Rick,
As threatened, here is a quick report on my first gig with my dirty Hi-Z Silver Bullet. Our normally quiet Monday pub gig was enlivened by some raucous Bank Holiday drinkers, so, unusually, we needed a little bit of poke – the difference in sound between the Silver Bullet and my old mic was phenomenal. For the audience, it added a layer of sound to my (nothing special) playing that made it seem more professional and realistic. I know because someone came up to me as I was packing up to compliment me – I’m sure the mic was largely responsible for his perception of my playing! The mic was hot enough to get a ton of sound from my 30w speaker cab, and controlled enough to stay clear and true to what I’d set the amp to. The mic feels good in the hand, you can play cupped or uncupped and get good variation, the gain control delivers really well, my bandmates were very impressed with it, and I couldn’t be happier!
Many thanks again,
Huw Davies

Hi Rick, Finally get some time to share my impressions. I am very happy with the microphone, it is nice, well made and it sounds nice. I like nice and clear sound when uncupped, which suits well type of music my current band is playing, but also, when cupped, it can give nice bluesy sound (as example attached, Honkin’ Tom’s Vintage 15g amp, a bit of delay on the pedal, and the golden melody in Bb).

The microphone truly is a piece of artwork……

Maybe my words do not have a power of the great harmonica player, but I am yet another satisfied customer.

All the best Rick, keep up good work.

Hi Rick. Got the mic – very nice – I really like it a lot…. Thanks, Tim

Tims’ feedback after his first gig with the Silver Bullet: “Gig Report: Mic was awesome. The tone was excellent – playing through a VOX modelling amp, which the purists absolutely hate…. but it’s really only the sound that matters, and the sound was good. Anyway – excellent mic, great comfort and cuppability, the rubber cover made otherwise sweaty conditions really manageable. Kudos! Tim”

Just got your 4Kohm bamboo mic in the mail – thanks so much! I’ve already given it a quick spin, and my immediate impression is that it’s “natural” tone is considerably cleaner than the 40Kohm mic, but that you CAN push it into dirty ranges by cranking gain on both amp and mic. So it appears to be a great choice for flexibility – it does well with both that acoustic folky sound and the dirty blues sound. I mostly live in the dirty range of things, so the 40Kohm mic will probably remain my main, but we do the occasional French bistro sort of thing now and again, and it’ll be great to have this mic on hand for those sets (where I’m basically trying to emulate an accordion). And, the leather case is AWESOME.

Anyway, I’ll mess around with it more in the coming days and let you know if I have anything to add to my first impressions. Regards, Tim

A bit late but never mind – just some feedback (no pun intended!) on the Silverfish. I am not very techie so I can’t comment in detail, but I really like it. It is so small and light and easy to hold and I like the sound I am getting from the amp. It will be great for our next gig, better than sharing a mic on a stand with singers etc. and not being able to control the sound or volume. All I need to do now is become a better player! I did follow Tomlin’s recommendation by the way. He had a YouTube demo of various mics and this one seemed the one for me. Lesley

Hi Rick, the microphone arrived here safely…. I can already say that it really produces a nice saturated big-volume sound when cupped tightly. And the design, which really is a treat to the eyes as well as the hands of the holder, makes cupping for me a lot easier than on the traditional bullet mic. Cool….
Cheers and keep up the good work, Andreas

Richard, new microphone arrived the other day. Right out of the package I could see that this mic is a serious piece of equipment. The first thing I did was to gather a handful of harmonicas and head into my practice room. I began using my Fender Blues Junior. I was surprised how responsive the microphone is. It doesn’t take much to launch this rocket. I moved to my small 5 watt boutique amp. I got some amazing tones from my harp and the mic captured them all. Finally, I ran the mic through my stage amp; An Egnater 20-watt Rebel head with a matching cabinet filled with a 12” Weber. There is plenty of mojo in the little microphone. This mic is a keeper!! My first thought was, I should have ordered two.

Richard, I have used 50 or 60 different “bullet” mics and I have a box full of old “57s”. Your microphone are every bit as good if not better. I can not wait to record with it.

Hi Rick …. I am coming back to you with my feedback on your mic. I have to say, it is absolutely stellar. Not only is it super-light, which really saves my back after a long gig, but man does it play! I have used it at almost all our shows and it took my playing to another level. Compared with classic harmonica mics such as the Shure Bullet and Superlux, the level of player comfort is simpy incomparable. We have recently recorded a new EP with our band “The Weathermakers”, where I used the Silverfish exclusively: the studuio guy was genuinely impressed with what the mic is capable of.

…. you can hear what the “‘fish” sounds like on our bandzone pages – http://bandzone.cz/theweathermakers. The fisrt four songs are from the new EP, “Dnes!” [Today!] We are also going to make a video from the session: I will be happy to send it to you when it is finished – hoping to get a glimpse of your mic in there. … I am thinking about buying another one of your things – what would you recommend? All the best from Brno, CR. Jakub Svoboda

Rick, Got the mic couple of days ago, really happy with the way it fits in the hand. I used it at a jam through the pub PA system with a bunch of rowdy guitars and drums it carved really good and not even a hint of feedback. I was hoping to get on my banjo or cigar box guitars but the bandleader just made me play harmonica on set for over an hour. Anyway hopefully I can really get some nitty gritty through my amp today … it also fits neatly in my pelican case, I really like it so far. Some of the gig was being filmed I’ll let you know if it pops up somewhere on the net. Cheers JR

Hi Rick – Received the Mic this morning, first class service, top quality product. Have tried it through my Roland FX mobile cube which I use to practice – sounds superb on this … I play with a small band in drinking holes, lots of varied music. I play the harp solo on “Dirty Old Town” great with your Mic – normally on a G diatonic but tried this morning with a Tremolo harp. Sounds really crisp and clear – another good selling point for anyone playing this type of Harp.

Tom Lauten
I love the look and layout of your mic’s, very modern and logical but with a nice industrial feel as well, nice job.

Great Mic and very helpful seller. Couldn’t ask for more

Hi Rick,

I’ve been impressed by the Silverfish Harp Mic III since it arrived a couple of weeks ago. Sounds great through my valve combo and is comfortable to hold and work with. I’m recently back to harmonica playing after a 20 year absence from the sport and found that my old harps were very much past their best so invested in some new ones.

The combination of this harp and the mic gives a whole new perspective on what can be done with such a simple instrument!

Thanks Chris Brady Bedfordshire UK

Hello, Tomlin from tomlinharmonicalessons.com here to give you a review of the Silverfish Harmonica Mic III.

” ..you can get some very tasty creamy overdrive without the annoying mid-range honk you get from a lot of microphones. So, you can really cover all the bases..”

What does it sound like when you plug it in? The answer is, good and very versatile”

I am a full-time harmonica teacher and player based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I teach people all over the world through Skype and my online harmonica school. Personally, I play a lot of blues, Jazz, R&B and funk/soul which sees me playing in function bands, original bands as well as recording sessions.

The Silverfish Harmonica Mic III microphone is specifically designed for blues harmonica players and features a ceramic element which can go from clean to creamy overdrive. The first thing that is a big plus for me is how nice and compact the microphone is. I personally don’t have the biggest hands in the world and I often struggle with the typical harmonica mic; The Green Bullet. As a result, I normally use a stick microphone such as a Shure SM57. The reason that it is so important to have a microphone that fits your hand size is that you want to create an airtight seal around the harmonica and microphone in order to get the biggest “tone” you can. Already, without plugging in I could tell that the Silverfish would make it easy to get a decent seal.

Furthermore, it has a big advantage of the SM57 in that it is much lighter so you don’t get hand cramp after a long practice or performance. There are a couple of nice details which confirm that Rick knows what harmonica players want and need. For example, the volume knob is small and very firm which means you are not going to accidentally twist it in the middle of a particularly enthusiastic harmonica solo. Another nice detail is the rubber around the microphone element itself which serves two purposes. Firstly, it means that the harmonica isn’t going slip out of your hands when they get sweaty (a real issue!). Secondly, it also helps the airtight seal by making sure that no air can get out of the pop shield around the microphone element.

Okay, enough about the nice design!

What does it sound like when you plug it in?

The answer is, good and very versatile. It is naturally a very clean microphone but when you cup it tightly and with a little help from the amplifier you can get some very tasty creamy overdrive without the annoying (in my opinion) mid-range honk you get from a lot of microphones. So, you can really cover all the bases which is great for me as I will quite often find myself playing some old Chicago blues then some jazz standards in the same set.

Finally, it is so affordable that everyone should have one either as your only microphone harmonica or as a spare in your gig bag.”

Click her for Silverfish Harp Mic_Sound Sample

Hi, my name is Kenny Boag and I have been playing harp since I was 17 years of age that means I have been playing for …….. well a long time! For a large part I have played in electric bands covering a range of genres including blues, rockabilly, folk and even pop! However I have mainly played in blues bands and my first and abiding love is still big, fat Chicago blues! This has required me to immerse myself in the quest to find and develop that iconic Chicago amplified tone. It has been a long and expensive journey where my many mistakes and preconceptions have led me down blind alleys and involved hasty and ill-advised expenditure. In all of this I have learned a number of key lessons:

Little Walter sounds like little Walter because he was Little Walter!

About 80% of what makes his sound is down to his acoustic style, the way he mixes tongue blocking and lip pursing – his ability to move between single notes and chords and octaves, the size of his hands and the shape of his mouth. The remaining 20% is down to the microphone and amplifier or in his case the tube driven PA he used to play through. Unfortunately many will think the opposite, like I did, and neglect the fundamentals and think they can buy that sound with a combination of expensive mics and big amplifiers. WRONG! Get you acoustic playing and fundamental sound and style right and your gear will add the finishing touches not the other way round. Look at James Cotton – basic vocal mic straight into the PA and what a sound!

Set a budget

I have spent well over £2000 pounds in my quest for amplified sound. I have bought over 10 different mics, pre-amps, noise gates, feedback suppressors, effects pedals, vacuum tubes and amplifiers and lost a fortune on them all. Now some of that is linked with the above and some of that is simply that I fell for all the sales nonsense and hollow promises given. If you are going to buy, go and speak to other harp players. We have all made these mistakes to a greater or lesser extent and we are a collegiate bunch in the main that are happy to share our views and experiences. But like anything there is a Rolls Royce option and a mini metro option – you will need to be realistic and pick what is you and what you can afford but more importantly what it is you need. For example – if you are going to play in your living room then you do not need anything more than a small 5 watt amp and a half decent mic that cups easily. If you are going to play small pub type gigs then you have a variety of options ranging from a small 15 watt amp to a pre-amp that plugs into the PA – getting slightly bigger you may need a line out on your amp to the PA (depends if your guitarist thinks he is Eddie Van Halen).

I play regularly – I play mostly in medium to large venues and I have a couple of original Astatic JT-30 mics and I play through a customised Fender Blues Deville 4X10 60 watt amp. That is far too much for a small pub gig and on the odd occasion I do play smaller venues I have a custom built preamp that I plug straight into the PA. So, its horses for courses and you should pick what suits and make the best of it.

Decide what you want to sound like

We all have harp heroes that we want to aspire to sound like. Mine are original guys like Little Walter, Sonny Boy, James Cotton and Paul Butterfield but I also love more modern players such as Rick Estrin, Andy Just, James Harman and Lester Butler. But if your boat is floated by Sonny Terry then you don’t need a big rig. Be careful and chose what suits.

Silverfish Harp Mic

So – following the above are essential. I have recently acquired one of Rick Park’s most excellent Silver Bullet Harmonica mics. When it arrived I was firstly struck by its shape and size. I am 6’5″ tall and I have big hands but even I struggle to cup a big bullet mic solidly for 2-3 hours of playing in a hot and sweaty venue. This beauty is easy to cup and easy to get a good seal on – one of THE most important aspects of great amplified tone. In addition it has probably the best placed and easiest to use volume pots that I have ever come across. That makes varying tone and volume very easy and as well as managing the harp layer’s nemesis, feedback, much more achievable. As far as tone – this baby barks really well at the bass end and covers the mids to high tones with little or no break up or squeal. Its range is terrific and its versatility a joy. I will be shortly be recording a Youtube video where I will demonstrate this in a bit more detail.

In short I really like the Silverfish Harp Mic and it is now firmly a feature in my gigging back-line. I would have to be honest and say that it would not replace my vintage mics as first choice for playing with an electric Chicago Blues band. But you should bear in mind that at less than a third of the price the trade off in tone is well worth the price and on that basis I would recommend this mic for those of you that don’t have the where-with-all to shell out £300 on a vintage bullet mic but still want excellent performance and a great sound. I have started playing as part of an acoustic duo and the Silverfish Mic gives me great service in that format as it allows me to blend an acoustic and amplified sound to great effect. I have received numerous enquiries from fellow players and I suspect they may soon be beating a path to Rick’s door or visiting his website:

I hope this helps and if you want to chat more then I can be contacted through the good offices of my mate and harp expert Rick Park of Silverfish Harmonicas!
