Always a Mic! I never take a line from my Wilson K4 pickup, as much as I love it.
In my own studio, I'm currently favouring a Blue Kiwi bass bar side of the lower bout, and a couple of stereo Rode NT5's higher up and set further back for more of a room sound, although I'm always experimenting.
The one thing that absolutely breaks my heart is going into a studio to lay down some bass for someone, and the engineer/producer fails to capture the real sound of my bass. It's not overly difficult to get an amazing, real, woody double bass sound, but it amazes me how many fail.

Thanks!
Actually I'm talking more home recording, less proffesional equipment
So should I get a mic? Which mic can you recommend? Should I use clip on mic like the DPA or other mics?
