AKG Miniature Condenser Microphone and other cheap mics

Had a gig last night in what I thought was going to be someone's front room - "just come round and play at my birthday party".

I rock up with the bass, but no amp or preamps, to find a huge marquee with stage, 4KW, PA, sound engineer, 6 Bose monitors, lighting!

I have a Shadow bridge pick up which normally sounds OK through the Phil Jones Bass, but is terribly middly on it's own. Sure enough, it sounded terrible. Sound engineer clipped a little AKG condenser mike onto the bridge, and for a cheap mic it sounded absolutely brilliant. I think it was an AKG C516: http://www.akg.com/pro/p/c516ml .

I think I might have to acquire one of these and experiment further. Anyone else tried anything like this or have any other suggestions?

not had chance to try it yet, but it might be worth considering?
