For years I played with an amplified band on tenor sax, soprano sax, and clarinet in a large dancehall. I could be heard with a big clear sound throughout the entire building including side rooms, rest rooms, kitchen etc. with NO amplification, and no DEGRADATION of my sound with silly electronics. If your equipment is made and set-up properly and you play correctly there is NO need for a mic in almost ANY hall.

Subject: [kl] Bass pick up

I'm wanting a microphone pick up and I want to use it with vocals, drums and keyboard. I may use it for other things later. This is going to be an ongoing group. I have used a pick up before for klezmer music for clarinet but have never owned one. Ideally it would be something I could switch instruments with (sax, clarinet and bass clarinet) but I don't know how realistic that is and I know how hard it is to mike clarinets. Any suggestions?
