Double Bass Audio Technica Pro35x

Cool. No, we never met.

Rudy is tremendous -- and of course, Raynes is a masterful drummer. I got schooled by guys like Raynes and had the chance to play with him on a weekly basis for several years on both jazz and rock gigs.

I'd like to try a Solstace. I had a Raven PMB1 for a while, but the preamp left me reaching for more EQ on the amp...a little too neutral sounding. Of course, I didn't have a mic at that point...

I can see that the mic situation might be best reserved for drummerless gigs...or on very nice stages with plenty of space for separation... There are quite a few powerful drummers here too in the Burgh...Art Blakey cast a long shadow over this town! And of course, most of the city venues are fairly small...

Leftover was fun! I usually caught the band in Fort Collins during the Brew Fests, etc. Not sure if I saw you with them or not...

Hope to catch up with you when I get back home...eventually.

Thanks for the words of wisdom on the mic.

I recently picked up one of these from a sax player friend of mine. We bought it for him for a live recording we did but he never uses it anymore. I used it last night on a job, mic only, into my AI Clarus plugged into a small Yamaha pa cab (8' and a tweeter). The sound was great. For $100 the ATPro35 is pretty killer.

I used to play around with this mic for a while and found a nice way to attach it. Just get a little rectangular piece of plywood, about 2 x 4 cm, drill a hole through one end and use a screw and nut to fix it underneath the tailpiece, trough the hole for the G string. This gives you a little flap that stands out from the side of the tailpiece. Paint it black and it doesn´show up at all. Very handy to attack to mic to, or every other small gooseneck. Good luck

My favorites so far are Sennheisers. I tried on old 441 & another old shotgun that's not made anymore.[/QUOTE]

Actually, the new DPA 4099 B is a minature shotgun design. I had the ATM 35 and for live sound the DPA sounds IMHO a good deal better. However, I'm not sure that it's as good for recording I did use it once for that purpose and it sounded very good. Their actually not all that expensive. The best studio mics I've ever recorded through were Neumanns, but their very expensive.
