Double Bass Christian McBride's amplification

[RBPCRC]

I just got the Chick Corea Trilogy album with Christian McBride and Brian Blade. I know CMB would sound great through anything but what pickup/mic/amp setup does he use live?

He used to have a description of his gear on his website, but it's not on the revamped site. However, I believe he uses a Realist and AMT S25B mic, and his amplification used to be Epifani, but that may have changed. There's also a good chance that he was not using his own gear for a live recording, but that what you hear was either backlined gear or they had another mic on the bass just for the recording.

Here you have his usual gear: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
As @lowfreqgeek said he could used different setting for this recording.

Both times I've seen him close up at the Bistro in here in St. Louis, he used a Realist and the AMT25B. Now in olden times he used to go straight into a Electrovoice RE 20, but
that's a long time ago. He also had a Chadwick Bass with a removable kneck the last time he was in town.

This was in Dizzy's club at Lincoln Center. I've also seen him in the larger Rose Theatre and will be going back again in February. I don't think he cares what he uses for his own amp but sends a mic to the house seperately.

I assumed it was the AMT but I really didn't look very closely. I will in February
