"The unique Biscuit mic that Chuck built for me is great looking, easy to cup, intriguing to fiddle with while your playing, and the thing can holler like a mountain jack!!!!! So far I've used it in several contexts from a 15 watt-10 inch fender to my double barrel"tweedzilla"hooking together my Sonny Jr. Cruncher, and my Bassman with a reverb tank between them. The mic is amazing in that it responds to every nuance of hand pressure,wind power,and just the right amount of snarl. The volume control is in the perfect position for subtle changes. My advice to the curious, dial up Chucks photo gallery, you'll feel like Little Walter on Christmas morning. Chuck...you are an artist working in the medium of the sound of the soul Thank you so much G.S."

He was great to deal with and one of a kind. He played both mics before and during the concert which led to his purchase of Fat Bottom Mic's. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Also welcome Curtis Salgado, Rick Estrin from Little Charlie and The Night Cats on board, along with Mark Hummel and Sugar Ray Norcia as the most recent Fat Bottom Mic endorsers.
