It is much harder to get bass response in a directional (eg., cardioid) mic than in an omni.
As I said earlier, though, many people roll off bass anyway, so the mic doesn't have to be that bassy. As long as it is clear and detailed, which I'm sure it will be...

People generally rolloff base because the old school 2-wire batt boxe set-ups could generally not handle those spls right? I don't think base rolloff is all that necessary in most situations.
Also... a few people reading this thread deserve one of these:
Some people like the bass, but most clubs I go to overdo the bass. I often record with really lightweight mics, like Sennheiser MKE40. If I can get cardioid and really clear mids/highs, that is most of the battle. Now, I would add bass to the MKE40, but something with a little more bass would be just fine for me. To each is own, I guess.
I'm most curious on the physical design of this mic...
