Its been covered couple of times here , i think the thread is called upright bass still a PITA or something like that .
Anyway
Try dynamic or SD mics - like km 184 or similar SD or EV dyn. sounds good too ( not only RE20 but many other models too )
-Use gobos if you can and try to isolate the bass as much as possible
-Dont forget to record also the pick up signal -this can save your session
- If you cant isolate the bass ,place the band as close to each other as possible ( i am not kidding ) this is a good way to have nice bleed in from cymbals in bass mic ( you will have the bleed in anyway so make sure it sounds good )
- Place the mic under the bridge or string holder .
Dont give up - Upright is a heavy beast and its hard to get it right but once you do your are going to enjoy the smile on your face .
Have fun
