I wasn't sure if I should bring my old topic back to the top of this forum, so I'm starting another one...hope that's ok. My budget is around $1000 for a bass amp mic. I'm aiming for a fairly professional sound.
The mic's I'm considering are:
Soundelux iFET7-1,890
Soundelux U195-$1,095.00
Electro-Voice RE20-$429.97
AKG D112-$200

I'd like to distribute my records (d'n'b vinyls), but it takes a long time to call to every recordshop in the world :). I'm sure there are distributor firms that can do it for me... Can you suggest some please?

...besides an AKG D112, Shure 52, Audix D6 or a Sennheiser MD421. :)

Just curious if anyone else has tried an Audix D6 on a bass cab yet. I bought one awhile ago for my drums but we were tracking bass, so I threw it up on a 4x10 cabinet and man... I thought it was really nice! It blew away the D4 I was using, at least in my opinion.

How good of a bass do I need to record with? I'm doing digital multitrack home studio recording. I'll plan on recording the base direct (no amp or mic). I'm aware a decent pre-amp and compressor with help.

I went to a studio yesterday to mix a song and after a sound engineer made a quick mastering with maxbass, Req, and ultramaximiser, and limiter.

Hello. This is my first post on this board but i have been reading it a lot for a while and it has been very helpful to me.

those are my options,
