Using these for bass recordings
It's my favourite Microphone for bass recordings.
It's perfect, it's the best sounding mic out of the ones I've used to record bass. I also use it for the bass kick of the drums!

Turn it up - sounds great
This mic is basically pre eq'd for a fat, punchy sound with a good bright click too. Obviously you can eq back the other way - but there's little point mucking around too much with it. Just sounds good out of the box with a good helping of gain and a little gating. Works as well either inside against the batter head, or poking in the sound hole from the front. Won't be going back to my trusty AKG D112 - that sounds like a wet fart in comparison.

Nice and Subby
The E602 II is a great mic and at a great price. Solid build and a reliable mic for the arsenal. This mic is particularly good at capturing the very low frequencies of kick drums and guitar/ bass amps (30-80hz ish). If paired with another microphone for clarity, you can get a great kick drum sound, even out of a more budget drum kit.
I would say that it is not particularly good at getting an overall tone on it's own, but used correctly with something else (even just a 57) can get a bigger, fatter overall sound.

Great kick mic
Great kick mic for more modern sound and live sound, requires less eq cleaning and mid scooping than the Shure beta, and has a better more pronounced kick sub and beater high sound. Recommend!

An excellent choice for bass drum
I own a number of mics that I mainly use on the bass drum and the E602 is definitely one of my favourites. If I'm restricted to one mic on the bass drum, for contemporary music in a live setting I tend to go for mics that have been "pre EQ'd", like the Audix D6, or, in now, the E602. It has a very pleasant boost to the low end and doesn't sound quite so "clicky" out front as the D6. I've also used it mounted internally to work alongside my Porter and Davies BC2 and it works tremendously well in that capacity. For recording work, I've used it in conjuction with a boundary mic to provide some really quite remarkable bass drum sounds. I highly recommend giving this mic a go. Excellent value for money and I feel it's a very versatile option.

Favourite kick mic
My favourite kick mic by far. Have use the Shure beta91 a lot of times, The ATM250, the Heil PR48 , Audix D6 and all the others, but every time i had a E602 on the kick, the kick just worked, a lost of times i just used a bit off low cut to 30(ish) and the tweaking was done.

over all amazing mic
In my opinion this is the best contemporary sounding kick mic there is. Not flat at all, has great punch without any eq at all and all the bass you could wish for at the same time, and has no weird thing going on that has to be scooped out.
Have been looking for a kick mic for quite a while now, looking at reviews , listening to samples, and as with any internet purchase had my doubts, but since i put it in my bass drum, there is no more doubts at all, this is the best mic out there. I have 18" bass drum and it has everything to make it as big as i want to.
Don't quite like the plastic, but other than that great, if not the best mick im my opinion for low end.
