I've just returned the Rare Earth blend because it basically fell to bits after a couple of weeks of usage and I got a refund. I only used the mic part, not the pickup and I really liked the sound. I have decent mics to record with but would really like a solution that is fixed to the guitar so I'm looking at some type of clip on maybe.
The DPA sounds great but is around the £500 mark and I'm looking for something between £200 and £300. BTW, one of the plusses of the rare earth was the fact that the mic was internal and there didnt appear to be any room issues, so an internal mic would also do the job.
Any recommendations? Cheers.
