Double Bass New Behringer CB 100 Mic

Well, this looks interesting: a dirt cheap condenser mic from Behringer. It's a cardioid and has a rather wide frequency response, so it looks like it could actually be quite usable for DB. It's only $40 bucks, so who knows how durable it'll be. But, it's only $40!

Cool. It would be nice if the price was higher and it came with a clip / clamp.

It looks like a copy one of the Audio Technica ATM 350’s. The Ovid T Bone has been available for around 10 years as a inexpensive alternative to the DPA 4099 DVote Core. It’s a decent mic but their bass mount is junk.

Are you referring to the rubber string clip/clamp? I've been using a Prodipe BL21 mic the last few months, and the rubber string mount works quite well with it. The mount can be had separately for about $20 and might work with similar mics, but it's a bit hard to find Prodipe products in the U.S. I'm pretty sure I've seen similar mounts from other companies being sold separately as well. The nice thing about the Prodipe mount is that it holds the mic at an angle, not parallel to the strings, which I think makes it easier to position under the bridge.

Eli,
Actually no, that looks to be a much better clamp than the one they originally sold with the Ovid TBone. It was worthless. The Prodipe looks similar to the DPA bass clip.

You can see from the picture on the Thomann website above, that the center of the Ovid mount is screwed onto the body of the clip, with two steel screws into soft plastic. It quickly strips out and since they made the whole thing out of soft plastic rather than a rubber, like the DPA and Prodope clips are made of, it's constantly popping off the bass because it's to stiff.
