An "acoustic bass guitar" is a bit of an oxymoron. The whole idea of it
was invented for "MTV Unplugged" so that bass players who couldn't play a
double bass would have something to do. Nobody ever hears them
acoustically, they just can't keep up with an unplugged band. You need a
much bigger body to decently reproduce low frequency sound. So forget
about mic technique, use a good DI, and treat it like an electric bass,
which it is.

Plugins are not a substitute for mic technique. Get the basic sound you
want with your mic choice and placement. Don't try to "fix it in the mix."
