Help me choose a pair of mics for my cabs! Thanks in advance, guys.
I need them for this weekend!

Here's my rig:

Line6 Variax 705, Modulus Q5, Spector Euro NS-5
---
Ampeg SVP-Pro preamp
Crown I-Tech 4000
Phil Jones Bass 8T (eight 4" speakers, no horn)
Ampeg SVT Classic 410HLF (bass ports and horn)

I'd like help deciding on two mics, not necessarily a matching pair: one for the 8T, and one for the 410, possibly a third for the horn on the Ampeg. I'd like to spend $1,000 or less total.

Right now I'm using a pair of Shure KSM137s: one on one of the Phil Jones cones, and the other on the horn on the Ampeg, and also an MXR 990 on one of the cones on the Ampeg. I'm looking for something higher quality than the MXR, and something more suited for bass than the 137s.

Thanks in advance!

Dave
 
P.S. here's my rig...
