[quote name='urb' post='209388' date='May 30 2008, 09:25 AM']Hey B - that's exactly what I've been thinking of doing as well - how much would one of those mics set me back? I want to get one for recording sax and vocals as I have studio monitors and a decent sized room for recording - my album needs to be started soon!
Let me know - I know from experience that miking is actually the best way - and or combing that with a direct signal - to get the sweetest bass tone...I'm about to get an Epifani cab as well - so that's the next step I guess.
What do reckon to this kind of deal from Thomann? It would make sense to get all the bits at once:

or is this the puppy you are using:

Baby Ben is doing great - and getting cuter and cooler by the day - apologies for the baby pic but he is rather cool:

Hey Mike,
Ben lookin cool, he has bass player fingers!
Well, I picked my mic up for about £250 from soundcontrol in manchester, which was a bloody good deal.... probably why they gone bust.
I think any good quality valve condenser will do the job. Its good to experiment. Im just about to move house and setup a new studio. Im gonna do it properly this time with acoustic treatment in the form of some foam, and maybe some bass traps.
In a bit, Benn
