Double Bass Mic recommend for connection to iPad Pro?

I want to record from my amp to better analyze my playing. And, ideally I want a microphone to place in front of the cab to capture the actual sound well. Right now I’m just using my phone/iPad’s Voice Memo utility, but it captures string noise and other things that obscure the amped sound.
I also want it to be easy and not complicated, so ideally just plug into the USB-C port on the iPad, and open some simple recording app and record.
Any suggestions for a mic?
 
I have used this mic from Shure. I think is is the MV88. Don't know if it is still made, or not. It plugs directly into the connection on either a phone or iPad. If you're interested, I can try to figure out a price and you can have it.

Looks like my older version has been discontinued. New version connects with either a USB C or A. The single lightning connection of my version probably did not work with newer ipads, etc. If you want this one to check on the quality, I'll sell it for $25 plus shipping.

Looks like, based on reviews, it'll work fine for me.
