Tips & Techniques:Upright Bass II

This is not my origional idea at all but it works great anyway.

For good bluegrass THUMP, take an SM57, wrap it in a small towel or washcloth, then wedge it sideways under the strings between the tailpiece and the bridge. Augment that with your favorite bass mic and blend to taste.
