The Wishbone Mic Stand

[DaveBlack]

seems like a cool idea. I dont think it'll ever replace the normal all around mic stand though.

Seems like it'd pick up a lot of resonant frequencies from the cab? Part of the reason stands are preferred over clips for drum close mics [that and they tend to rattle a bit].

Great idea for live shit, horrible idea for studio shit.

Cab Grabber by Audix...same stuff

Not a bad idea for live stuff but it's a bit expensive tbh.

Really nothing new here. Z-bars have been around for years and they're cheap

65 bucks for the audix cab grabber is insane. One thing I will throw the wishbone over these others is the fact that there is a boom instead of what pretty much looks like a fixed situation on the other 2 mentioned in this thread.

I realise you can set the other 2 somewhat how you like, but the wishbone seems to be quite a bit more flexable in mic placement.
