The best standup bass sound I ever got was with a jazzish band, all
playing in the same room. The bass pickup was plugged into his little
combo that was mic'd with a d112. But the majority of the bass sound
coming from the drum overheads!... I tried using the combo and a stereo
pair in the
same way as before, but never got that sound again.

The particular bass makes a far greater difference than with any other
instrument I can think of when it comes to sound quality.
