I saw this but It was from 3 years ago I was wondering if your feelings have changed on some of these. also Mic placement what do you prefer?

In the studio: '69 B-15N or B-15R or Divided by 13: Fet 47. For an SVT, I like an RE-20, SM7 or an SM57.

Live, probably an RE-20, a D112 or an SM57.

I know, SM57 - weird, right? I just love the midrange "spank" that mic gives. SM7 is probably better ultimately, in that you get more lows with proximity effect if it's right on the grill. Fet 47 is the ultimate, though

Nope....all good. That's the stuff in my home studio still.

Fet 47 is king.

Mic placement = right up on there, an inch or so off the grill. Works great for me always.
