nuemes said:Given your current gear and situation I'd get a Shure SM57 ($89 new). It can cover guitar cabs & snare extremely well and it's not too shabby on kick & bass cabs in a pinch.
Upgrade to a dedicated kick mic as your collection grows.
Good advice.
If you want to focus on a bass-specific mic, I'd also suggest the AKG D-112. It's usable on lots more than a kick drum too.
