Need a new mic
e935 + stand and cable cheaper than an e935 on its own, or a beta 58, and it meant The Wife (tm) doesn't buy me clothes for my birthday!

Id go to you local music shop and get the basic setup and see where the band goes. Seen a lot of musicians with "all the gear" but you cant buy talent and for some that's whats been limiting factor

I record through a 100 quid AKG mic with and a friend of mine bought a really expensive 600 pound mic which had rave reviews in the Internet. I couldn't tell the difference and far more important was singing technique, the amplifier and the mix. In the end I prefer my own recordings because I could tweak to get the sound I wanted.
