Condenser Mic Question ?
 

Does anybody here recommend a good condenser mic for miking a bass amp?

Condensed milk makes good key lime pie.

Oh, sorry, you said miking, not milking. These little phones are hard to read sometimes.

I could eat that pie after playing bass.

What kind of setting would it be used in and how much are you willing to spend?

Here are a few good bass amp mics;

AKG D112
Shure Beta 52A
Sennheiser e902
Audix D6
Beyerdynamic M88 TG
Heil Sound PR40

What is most reasonable but still sounds good ? This would be for use with a small 50 watt amp.

Of the ones CC1 listed, the Shure Beta 52A looks good. To me.

Re: Condenser Mic Question ?
 

Thanks I need to buy a good mic. I'm using basses with Flatwound strings and a Crate amp.

Re: Condenser Mic Question ?
 

The Shure Beta 52a is not only a good bass guitar mic but an excellent for the kick bass in a drum kit.

Shure's drum mic kit has four Shure 57's and this microphone. We recently replaced our old mic kit at church with this set and the difference is amazing.

I really need to get a Ampeg amp to really get that vintage old school deep tone.
