Looking for a Microphone for your acoustic bass?

We prepared a guide for you

When it comes to choosing a microphone for an acoustic bass, there’s no right or wrong answer. It depends on the genre you’ll be using on and technique, for what purpose and ultimately, personal taste.

Not only the instrument and the way it’s played are defining elements, but also the microphone chosen and its placement, which can result in drastic sonic differences.

An external microphone (rather than an internal microphone or a pickup) can retain a more natural acoustic sound, but a close-miking solution can be more practical.

Finding the right microphone and placement to create your desired sonic quality can be challenging, but we hope these following suggestions can make this process easier:
