So has ANYONE ever picked up a couple of 4038's from a WTB request? Seems they are the most tightly held mics around and buying new is the only way to pick a pair up.

its all about timing..
there where three or four sold in quick succession a year or so ago
but before or after that - not that ive noticed.
certainly still worth putting out the "i have money i want to spend" feelers though!

Definitely... I was just referring to my experience with WTB ads.. Got zilch!
But as with everything else, right place right time is the key. That's how I picked up one pair 5 minutes after it was advertised.
I'm sure myles will find a pair soon. Price difference between new and used pair probably wouldn't be more than 400-500.

It's always better to buy ribbons new, in my opinion. Especially sought-after ones. You have no idea if or how much (or how little) 2nd hand ones have been abused, and the price differential is very rarely large.
Umm... free bump I guess? heh

+GST on the above purchase out of the UK. For virtually the same price you can grab a new pair locally (i.e. Turra music) and not have warranty issues, nor have had your expensive ribbon mics thrown around freight depot to freight depot during a journey from the other side of the world!

Since the Coles mics are made in UK, they have to be freighted here anyway and could suffer the same abuse.

Hey Miles,
I have an SM7B I will move on, if that's of any interest to you?
