Which Mic to use for this gig?

[Matt P]

I've posted this in the Double bass section but was suggested to post here too, I'm Hoping to tap into the combined wisdom of the forum here.

I'm loaning my PA out to a ceilidh band for a wedding gig tomorrow (Saturday 24th May) and one of the instruments is a double bass, I don't believe that they have a pickup or an onboard mic fitted so my plan is to put a mic in front of it and hope for the best.

I have a selection of mics available to me but i'm not sure which would be most suitable, the setup and soundcheck time is extremely short so i'm not going to have time to experiment. from the list of mics below which one would be the most suitable and what position/direction would be best?

Red5 Audio - RV6/RV8/RV10
Rode - M3
Audix D6/i5
SE - X1
AKG - P4/D5
Shure - SM58 Beta
Audio_technica - ATM10a

 

this is the total list of mics that I can lay my hands on before the gig so i've got to pick one, so which one would you use?

 

i'll have 1 hour to get into the hall, set up, and soundcheck before the wedding party arrives so I'm trying to be as prepared as possible. I've already got Di boxes and preamps on hand and all the mics are ready to go into the car.

 

Thanks

Matt
