Luke Weiler of Positive Mental Trip has used the Sterling ST77 microphone in the studio(on all demos toured with 2008-2010) and on many songs on the 2017 PMT album, “the black and white album”. I prefer it to the sound of the Blue Baby Bottle if we are picking just one mic but I often blend them both together as I like the character of a few different mics on vocal tracks for some song. When tracking Chris Bonnano’s saxaphone on “the black and white album” in 2017 we used both mics at once on his saxaphone. It was also one of many mics used on Richard Goddeau’s 13 piece pearl master series drum set we mic’d for the almost 12 minute version of Circles that ended the 2017 album. Richard was an original member of PMT back in the day and had played Circles with us a lot so it was cool to reconnect with him musically and have him as a special guest on that track.
