Hi All,
Haven't been 'round in a while. Good to see some of the regulars still
here.

I've gotten involved with a Rock-a-billly Country Gospel Blues Blue
Grass Trad old time kind of outfit! The best bit is the singer has a
big stick with bells on it to shake at the audience, nothing like a
bit of voodoo to get their attention.

Anyway the bass in the band is taken care of by a tea chest and broom
handle affair, so I'm wondering what's the best way to go about this
in the studio. What mic's where? Should I try a PZM? Is there any way
I can tweek the chest to make it sound better, isolation pads or
something? Will I cut a hole in it? Wood a nail in the broom handle
work better on the box?


Any suggestions, tea chest links etc would be most welcome..

Thanks
