I was wondering what microphones Opeth uses Live and in the Studio.. I'm looking for a good mic myself that won't obliterate my wallet.

Ehhh..... I guess I should have stated "Vocal microphones"!

If it wouldn't be too much trouble.. could you narrow that down to just vocal mics?

The Shure SM58 is a reasonably priced (about £100 retail but you can save a lot on ebay) good quality vocal mic.
