Hi, I'm playing about 40% folk music, 40% bluegrass, 19% slap and 1 % arco. What pick-up, microphone and other equipment should I consider, and I'd like it to be labeled as "affordable" also. Thanks!

Double Bass What pick-up and other equipment to use?

for the PU, I'd go Revolution solo 2 or K&K bassmax. Anything but the Fishman Bp100 (RUN AWAY from this as fast as possible).

You might could start here if you haven't already. The section on p/u's and mics is toward the bottom of the page.
Or start checking out the gear listed in people's profiles too.
Here is a good mic thread.
And here are some sound clips of pickups. Good to read the whole thread though, to help put it in a more meaningful context.
