our bass player Jennifer.

Are we talking about the small condenser? Accordint to the response
chart I have, it starts rolling off on the low end at around 500hz.

A little lower, I think, but yes, it has a bass rolloff that starts highish.
Bring the mic in to about 4" from the instrument, and proximity effect
pretty much flattens it out, and the peak picks up the wood sound. For live
work, given the lack of deep bass in the PA, it does a good job when she
doesn't bring her pickup.
