Looks like it is history, but maybe you can find one somewhere.

wow nice lookin bar.. if i ever find myself an at822 (just like the mic and have wanted one for quite awhile) I would look into purchasing this bar..

just wanted to fluff some of Teds gear as well
He has that 3' split with center mount that may work out for a decent price if that is what is holding you back on the bogen bar.

if money is not a factor, look into the Grace SpaceBar - it has movable mounts but runs ~$300 if memory serves me

a somewhat cheaper alternative but still about a frankie, is the SP bar (I think it's an SP) that is similar to the Grace
tonedeaf has a thread around here somewhere with some pics where he shortened one

i just pulled the trigger on the fleabay one....i do have the ability with what gear i have to duplicate this bar, but it was getting a bit heavy at the top end, and that was without the mics even on yet..

thanks for all your help

That bogen is nice gear but it has a BIG footprint. I bought one and have never used it b/c I feel like an idiot carrying something so huge into a show.  For those that do outdoor shows in big taper sections, maybe not as big an issue.  For me, with a lot of the club shows I do, it feels like overkill.  But the build, etc. are excellent.

I think you are referring to the Superlux MA-90

i have some opportunities to use this bar so it wont be in the most obnoxious place...

Probably not the best "tape from your seat at head height" rig

You have to understand what some depraved folks bring to a show.. Often it is a full multi-track rig to take the whole board, in addition to mics...

Also, I'd buy some 5/8 od aluminum bar to have a few different lengths to choose from.
