Gonna agree with rharley here- you won't get much in the way of tone out of a condenser -they tend to sound nasty when overdriven, which is in the end what a bullet shell is for. Shure CM/CRs, EV dynamics, crystals....

Hi

Steve Baker used a condensor element in a JT30 shell for a few years, and he had a decent tone with it, can't say what element he used exactly though. He's back to CR/CM now i think.
Starting your mic building with a condensor is probably not really a good idea, it will make things unnecessary difficult and your chances for a good mic with that kind of element are low...
