Robert Hampson of Main has been known for doing this live as well. It can
indeed produce some otherworldly sounds, but it doesn't seem to work very
well with my J. Barden single coil pick ups (and I've tried shouting REALLY
loud into them). So, eh, what I need is a bad guitar mic. that picks up a
lot of hum and buss and other "unwanted" noise...any recomandations? Later,
