I just realized you have a KMS85, the S is for soloist so it's a vocalist
version of the mic! I have a KMS84 which has the cardiod capsule in it, a
similar mic - also KM84's and KM85's.

If you try to mic a bass with it you can unscrew the pop filter and use it
that way, you'll see the gold plated capsule (at least mine is) inside is at no
risk at it might sound better.
