I would argue noone here has ever succesfully
recorded a bass marimba.
It is quite impossible.
For starters, the damn instrument always sounds dirty and out of tune (very strong fourth harmonic which clashes madly in eg. minor chords). But only when recorded, standing next to the instrument it suddenly sounds clean !
Also, the sheer size and weight & volume are almost impossible to playback, even when the recording is successful.
