[QUOTE="Douglas R. Allen, post: 27138, member: 71"] Re: Mics for bass cabs Your in the "It Depends" area. Not knowing how well the Bass Player sets up his/her bass sound you could be in for a battle. I'd do both. Take the DI from the bass cabinet and put a mic in front as well. Tell the player you want to blend the 2 for best sound. That way you can throw the mic out of the mix if needed. As I'm sure you know uprights are tough at best. I sometimes start with the Low Cut at 150hz (yes thats right) then slowly bring it lower as needed. Same with the high cut. Start a lot lower than you'd think then slowly go up. They seem to pick up everything. Its going to take a good quality bass amp to do an upright justice. Don't worry about extreme low end with no subs in the mix. I'd use a E609 or a PR22. As others have stated look for the low/mids. Douglas R. Allen [/QUOTE]
