I have to agree with Martin's comments below, especially when I'm trying hard not to inadvertantly stand on his Martin guitar. So as you can see, recording double bass is a dangerous business.

For those tech-heads that are interested, we record it with an AKG-C4000B just in front of the bridge and the left sound hole into a Mackie Onyx mixer with firewire card direct into Cubase. This is the setup we use to record vocals and acoustic guitar and pretty much anything that makes a sound that we need to capture.

Hi - this is Mike - bass player (and sometimes Piano when I can coordinate all 10 digits to sound tuneful).

I'm also the recording engineer - we are planning on recording our own songs - we've had a go on recording some demos of the tunes - these are generally with just Martin singing and playing guitar, when he's come up with a song idea. We then take that and work out some bass and drum parts.

Here is a link to some songs and photos from a garden party we played at earlier this year.
