Title: Shock mounts in KC
Post by: hoyt on April 03, 2004, 02:21:39 PM
I know this is a long shot, but UPS lost my package from Dale Pro Audio (which was backordered for 3 weeks) with my new shure mounts.  I was hoping to tape a show tonight to give my new mbho 603s their first run, but I don't have any way to mount them on my stand without the mounts.  Anyone in Kansas City have a pair of mounts I could borrow tonight that would fit the mbho 603s (19 mm diameter I think)?  UPS said they wouldn't reimburse me if I bought new mounts somewhere else, so I'm shit out luck trying to buy anything today.

Please drop me an email if you do ryan.hoyt@earthlink.net

Thanks!

ryan, might be worth your while swinging buy guitar center and getting just some cheap clips (10 bucks for 2 or so) and run with clips vs mounts for one night.  if its not too insanely bassy or bumpy you will be fine

Think I'd be able to use the clips with a vert bar?

Damn, if ya woulda said something a couple days ago I coulda sent out mine to you.  If you need them again I can lend my Shure mounts to you, I just need then on April 16th (hopefully) and won't need them again for another month or so prolly.  Just LMK.

Hoyt- Do you ever get over to Lawrence for shows? I'm in Topeka and venture over that way frequently.

Yeah, they think it was delivered somewhere else.  Know anyone in KC named Ellis who signed for a package on April 1st?  :D

I try to, it's only like a 25 minute drive from my apt to Lawrence.  Not to mention the speed limit is going up to 75 on I70 soon, hehe.
