I've been recording Jazz duos for quite a while now, and thanks to the MXL 603's I bought, I'm getting some good sounds from the piano and guitar players I've been playing with...but my bass mic needs to be replaced. My...er....um..."financial advisor" has just approved a Large Diaphragm mic purchase, and I can afford either the MXL V67 or the V77. The sound I'm looking for can only be described as more "open" and "transparent" than the sound I'm getting now, which can (I hope) be found through the following link:
The sound on that recording isn't terrible, but it has a boomy resonance to certain notes and ranges of the instrument that I'd like to get rid of without sacrificing the ballsy sound my current mic gets out of the upper end of the range.
So does anybody have any suggestions about which mike will give me a better acoustic sound? I've never used a tube mic before and don't know if they color the sound a great deal, or in what way. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.
