Like all mics, it may sound great on my cab, and not great on yours. However I love the M88. I think it is a great kick mic and in that arena a good bass cab mic. I used one to mic an Eden cab one session and was pleased with the results, though I did combine it with a DI.
I would not really compare any mic with a DI. They are two completely different things. Its like apples and oranges, no, more like forced air heating and a fireplace. They both keep you warm and heat the house, but they go about it in completely different ways. Great analogy huh?
I think that M88's are not the most ruggend mics, at least compared to say an D112. But its never been an issue for me. Can't remember the exact spec but I think the max SPL is lower than the AKG or a D6 or something, I have never had an issue with that either. I think the M88 is a great mic to have around. Great on vocals and brass too. If you can get a good deal on one I would say grab it. Should make a fine bass mic.
