I scored an M380 for $100.00 today! I'm really excited to mess around with it. It's figure eight pattern, but pretty different on each side. I know Steve Albini's talked about using these before. I have sessions already slated where I'm giong to try it on kick, bass, and acoustic guitar. Anybody here have one? Specific likes or dislikes?

Those things are really great. Almost couldn't run a session at our place without one. Generally it goes on a bass cab. Our bass rig sits in a small iso booth and the bi-directional nature of that mic gets the amp and some reflection off the back wall of the booth, which can fill out the sound if the placement is right. They take a boatload of SPL, which is handy. Ours also gets used on kick drum, praticularly for minimal micing on jazz type sessions. You get a real nice "ambient" open sounding kick which seems to work very well for combo jazz drums. Nice score for very little dough, Doc!
I thought this club was for musicians. Who let the drummer in here??
