Ive joined a rockabilly band and have been getting into slap double bass.its not normally a technique i would use but i figure the more arrows in your quiver the better.anyway i would like to know if anyone has recommendations on a microphone for an upright,because ive just been sticking an sm57 in front of it(and thats at gigs where i get enough room to do that)its really less than satisfactory. i use a realist pickup and like the sound into the amp as well, so maybe a direct/mic blend would suit...any advice?i play alot of jazz and folk/acoustic stuff too so am not keen to completely overhaul my set up....cheers
