Default audio technica 831b

In live settings I use an audio technica 831b. I think it's intended for acoustic guitars, but works well for my purposes. I picked it up a while back without doing much research. I needed a small mic and that's what the kid at guitar center handed me... lol. I send it directly to the front of house and keep it out of the monitors. For my onstage sound I run a pickup (either an underwood, a schertler stat-b or a Rev solo 2 (depending on the bass I am playing) through an AI new yorker. I also send a line out of the amp to the front of house so the engineer can blend the two signals. Works pretty well. I've heard some board recordings from festivals and liked the combination.

The search for the elusive live sound is a hard one. there are so many variables that once I come up with something that works, gear wise, I don't change it. That way I learn it's nuances and can better tweak it in different rooms and settings.
