From: Ken Ficara
Subject: Bass Harps

I've been thinking of picking up a bass harmonica, largely because my
band has been playing a few Sun-era Johnny Cash tunes, and I really
want to play those great thump-thump bass lines. (And I don't think
I'm ready to start on standup bass.)

What's the deal on amplifying them, and/or recording them? I assume,
from the kind of rigs I see people like Danny Wilson use, that a
standard PA mic will not pick them up properly? What are the options?

thanks
ken
