I thought my AKG clip-on bell mic (same one as the sax is using) for my sax was broke. But, turns out, no one new how to mix it, and some phantom power systems didn't want to work with it (why, I don't know). But, it works great on my new 90 Watt keyboard amp/PA! Since I thought it was broke, I abused the hell out of it in the back of my lock-box all winter, and it still plays like new! It's back in the case, ready for gigging again!
I'm a AKG fan and probably own 40 mics made by them, and I agree the song is really funky, but cooooome oooon, AKG, that song is sooooo an overdub of what we're seeing: Check out the tam hit at about 1.12, right after the pause/stop. A company that sells high end mics shouldn't try to sneak this by in their socalled demo video, ever occur to you that the people who use your producs are actually listeners,. For all I know we're not listening to a single AKG mic. in that recording..
I would not say that you NEVER record a bass with a mic.
most users use the di option because it's easier and ok for most applications/songs. especially if you work with a daw and use a amp modeling software for post processing.
but sometimes you want a true analog sound which just can be achieved by using a real amp. So you need a mic. Normally you record through a d.i. and then reamp the recorded tracks with an amp and mic later. so you have both options.
I agree with you there. i guess in this application using a mic was ideal to demonstrate the use of an akg mic on a bass amp. in a lot of situations though a d.i. with a bass gives you some more flexibility. i'm glad to see that akg is in touch with there customers, especially through youtube. i have a lot of respect for akg and have been more than pleased with the akg products that i use
@andrewdrums175 there is no NEVER in Music or Art. Given the result, I would say try a mic.... breaking rules is what makes Music an Art. It's what keeps it new, fresh, makes it move and change. That's what makes it interesting.
Amazing!! I love jazz and I hope to do the saxophone one day. Look at him go!! Wow now He's good and the songs catchy!! Im going to listen to this everyday!! Love It! Enjoy it! You only live once.....

@andrewdrums175 micing bass is by a degree harder then micing guitars... however if you know how, you get killer bass tone...
