The mic element arrived today - happy easter to me, I've got my work cut out!
If I was smart I would have gotten the rubber insulator included and made a simple bracket from tin to hold it all and been stellar, but I'm sure some ol rubber tube will work, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
I think I'll settle for the volume control only, using a mixer eq for tone will give me more control. Did a lot of reading on that bit and one thing that did come up on guitar forums was the fact the .0047 sometimes added a touch of chorus...not sure if that is accurate or not but I wouldn't want that. I also found this, I assume it's you?

I didn't realize these are actually originally designed for a 1/4" plug, I thought it would be XLR. No matter, the 1/4" is a lot smaller hole and wireless systems a lot cheaper and more available than xlr.
I hate to add holes to this box, but, need the mic so here goes.
Finally, I wish I was a better tuner. It's not so much tuning as it is setting the voicing that is hard. A couple of notes are a real struggle and I'm afraid I'm just going to have to live with it. Sometimes I pick up my Roland and wish it was that easy to sound that perfect. But it isn't!
