<rant> PS - I fucking hate DIs and wish soundguys didn't always insist on DI'ing bass. Why the fuck is it ok to make the bass DI, but the guitarist still gets to mic his amp? DI'd bass sounds nothing like bass through a proper amp and cab. </rant>
A 57 wll simply not deliver on a bass cab. I just recorded some bass with a Shure PG52 (I think) and that, my friend, is where it's at.
