There is nothing better than the sound of a double bass through a nice condenser mic and tube mic preamp. Here's a quick rendition of 'Night & Day', done as a test to check out the condenser and preamp going straight in to the computer... 'tis a big sound. I will never totally get used to the sound of a pickup on double bass... mic'ing is the only way to go, but it's so finicky live. This was recorded with an MXL 440 Condenser mix and an ART Tube MP Studio preamp.
I dig it.
