if you were looking to get an external preamp, I was recommending the sounddevices mp-2.

as for the battery box, I would recommend the Sp-SpSB-1 as I am not familiar with the -2b

Ah, I get it now.  I'll check it out.   :headphones:

Hey.  I just noticed that Sound Professionals have a battery module with a preamp and bass roll off.  The SP-SPSB-2L.  Wouldn't this be better than buying a seperate pre-amp?  I still don't know which way to head in terms of the battery module or preamp (or cables!).  I have these details pretty much solidified though:

Microphones: SP-CMC-2: US $109
Battery Module: ?
Preamp: ?
Recorder: Refurbished JB3: US $180

Cables: ?

I stick with my AD-20 recommendation. Easy stealthage, perfect fit with the JB3 and a small budget.

So, go for the bass roll off with the battery module and a seperate preamp?

PS - When I get 50 posts, I'll T+ everyone for all their help.  I really appreciate it.  

PPS - Where can I see an AD20?

if you can afford it, yes a batt box w/roll off and a SEPERATE preamp would work best.  while the batt box w/roll off AND preamp is a noticeable improvement over the batt box w/roll off, I have heard it will not make or break your tape if you catch my drift.

You can see an AD-20 at micsupply.com.  It will be the first or second one on the preamps page.

why would he need an ad20? he's getting a SBD patch, straight from Lars...

true, but maybe he might want to taper "lesser" bands that aren't as generous ;)

On a serious note, the AD20 seems to be a little out of my price range right now.  That would send me way over-budget.  The MP-2 also appears to be discontinued.  I'm pretty locked on getting a JB3, but what's this I hear about recording with Archos Jukebox Recorder?  Is it lesser quality?  It certainly seems more stealthable.   :headphones:

Doesn't Metallica sell Taper tickets?

I was under the impression that they did, but would not allow trading.

Maybe I'm an ass.
