Hey, I checked out your clips and didn't hear any bass, you're a tenor if anything. Please double check your vocal range info.

Hi jackies! Unfortunately I haven't been able to put up songs that I sing bass vocals in. Those two songs didn't really have any bass parts in them and I wanted to sing in the same key as the originals (Mistletoe was lowered by a whole step) so I did not include any vocal parts in the bass range, except for the bass harmony parts in the last section of the Boyfriend cover. I'll try to put up some clips soon for you to hear. But in the meantime, what would your suggestion be given the mics I mentioned?

Not a condenser, but the RE-20 s really good for low male voice.
The problem with bass is projecting, and with the 20 you can get right on top of it for presence without proximity effect.

The mics you mentioned are all in the same "cheap chinese" category. So I'd suggest saving up for something better.
I, myself, have yet to find that "magic mic" that'd highlight my velvety tone, that's why I was interested in this thread in the first place.
Maybe I should buy this RE-20?

Definitely check the RE20 for a mic in that price range. It is a classic and standard gear in many mic closets.
