Classic Sound

I purchased this mic for nostalgia but have to say it's a great mic. I also have the Hohner Harp Blaster and I can say that I do see me using both mic's on a regular basis. The Shure Green Bullet is a darker and warm tone that works great for that Chicago blues sound. I highly recommend and if you do order it, Sweetwater is definitely the place to get it.

Harmonica Mic

I had wanted to get a mic for when I play harmonica. I read some reviews and it was recommended to start practicing with one before you play live. I ordered the Green Bullet from Sweetwater. It took me a little to write a review since I wanted to practice with it for a while. Anyway, I love the mic. It did take me a while to get it to feel comfortable. I now grab both harmonica and mic and it is coming more natural. Again I like the mic.
I want to talk customer service. The mic was shipped same day and with the tracking feature I kept my eye on it. It got stuck somewhere in California. I called my rep Bryan and he too saw it was stuck for over a week in one place. Bryan got it authorized to ship another mic by air and it got here in two days. Still no sign of the first mic but I'm on my way with this green bullet. Thank you Sweetwater and Bryan!

Shure Green Bullet

This harp mic has THE sound! I've got a 1950's era Green Bullet and this one sounds even better!
I run it into my Fender Pro Junior IV and it's got that old style Chicago sound. The price is right and Sweetwater is my "go to" for all my musical needs. What a great company!
Music background: Playing blues harp for 52 years.
