The search for the perfect live mic for upright bass players. Montreal Bass Day brought in a number of different clip on mics for the upright bass. I'll be doing a series featuring each microphone with a bit of playing and opinion. The Nadine, from Ear Trumpet Labs. I really like this microphone. The over all pizzicato sound would get an "A" from me. It also sounded excellent bowed. A couple of concerns would be the you have little flexibility with the placement and it is pretty hot volume wise, it picked up a lot of the external sound which would make it hard to use with a drummer in a loud jazz or pop setting. But of course the bleed issue is one that all of these mics have so I would't let that stop you from trying this excellent sounding microphone.
