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.Sent from my DROID RAZR HD</blockquote>
