Hi, I bought this a couple of years ago to mic my cab up on stage, however, I've never got round to using it.
I believe that, despite being called a kick drum microphone, it's a mic of choice for many bass players, live and in the studio.

And here's a link to the official Shure page about the mic: [url="http://www.shure.co.uk/products/microphones/beta_52a"]http://www.shure.co....phones/beta_52a[/url] - there are also a couple of sound clips on how it sounds with a bass cab.
I don't have the original box anymore, but I'll wrap and box it solidly when posting.
£85 posted, or you can pick it up from me in Swindon/Marlborough.
All the best,
Steve
