Double Bass Help identify this microphone?

[BassiklyAC]

Any idea what microphone is on the bass Joe Martin is playing in this concert? Show starts about 25min in. Thanks!

I haven't watched the entire video, but from an early close-up it looks like a Josephson e22S which is often used on drum kits.

That’s great. Thanks John! How does it appear to be mounted? Some sort of rubber band job on the bridge, or a custom clamp type deal? I went to their website to see if they offered a double bass mounting kit and didn’t find anything. Sure sounds good and doesn’t appear to be getting any help from a pickup.

Yes, it looks like rubber bands around the bridge. And it does sound glorious!

I don't think that's right. The Josephson looks like this:

Whatever it is, it does certainly sound great.

I'm pretty sure this bass and mic were used on the bad plus show as well.

 

[John Chambliss]

Oh well. Sort of close to a Beyerdynamic M130 ????

If anyone is consider purchasing a MBNM 608 C-L, the contact in the US is [email protected]

He did say the last word from Germany was delays, however, he’s checking back again.

MBHO makes great stuff. I have three of their MBD 219 vocal mics; they're the best live-vocal mics I've ever encountered (and not that expensive).
As @John Chambliss implies, the only US distributor is Dale Audio.
