At this point I have no idea how you are using a windscreen type material to mount and support the mic. I will say if the mic is in contact with the bridge or the soundboard, a major transmission is going to come from the physical contact.
I understand how both PCC and PZM mics work. Since they are based on making the time of travel to the element the same for both direct sound and reflected sound. I do not see how that applies to the sound of the bass in this case because, as I previously said, the source of the sound is the soundboard. If the soundboard is the source of the sound, it can't also be a source of a reflection. The soundboard could act as a boundary to bleed from other sources, but not to the bass itself.
Sorry, not buying it. You haven't convinced my the soundboard is a boundary, nor how the sounds produced by a bass are somehow different from the sounds in the pink noise. This is a dual path measurement. I am not looking for what the sounds are, but for differences between the two conditions.
No doubt but I am still not sure what technique you are talking about, because the monstrosity I posted is exactly what is seen at many festivals.
I already showed a picture of a bridge mounted EV nd487, which is extremely feedback resistant, produces thundering bass, and can be tilted to dial in the exact ratio of fingerboard to body that you want.
I also like to use small body condenser mics mounted in a couple of different ways but by far my go to is a pro35, atm350, or 9006 either with the boom or taken off the boom.
Here are some of my techniques:
The clip on mics can be attached to the f hole, or the bridge. When attaching to the bridge I often use these small modelers clamps. They are lightweight, can attach in a number of positions, and provides a solid place to attach the clip on mics. I especially like to take the mic element off the boom and just tape it to the clamp. Great sound, low profile, and solid attachment to the instrument.
I have also used the arm from a audix mic clamp rubber banded across the bridge to hold a small body condenser pointed just to the side of the sound post. In the photo it has a regular clamp on it, because that was what was there when I pulled it out of my possibles box, but it works well with the smaller clamps.
