I just like getting a pickup that has enough low end and then making a wavemap that's quite nice but won't be 100% of my signal/tone. I just bend it in until I am happy.
On a side note, I have been waiting for the Slate ML-2 to hit stores in my area but it has literally been out of stock for eight months (maybe even more as that's when I first checked). I am over that company. I want a better mic though. I am tempted to spring for the Shure SM-81.

I hear what you're saying about a Dexterized bass end seeming to be a little more feedback prone. I presume that's why they cut the resonant frequencies a bit for the WaveMaps which are intended for live performance.
Here's a Vintage Sony electret Mic which I used back in the '80s for a time before it fell apart. Its a very good instrument mic and retailed for $279 when it was introduced back in 1978. If you put it on the "M" setting it has a very flat bass response, although there's a definite presence peak out around 15 KHz.
