Live Mic for Double Bass

Hello to all,
I'm desperately looking for a Mic to use on the stage on my doubleBass. I've tried some dynamic (like Shure sm 57) but I had few volume before feedback and the sound was too "Boomy" anyway- I was thinking to try a condenser iper card., (Rode NT3?).
I constantly fight with:
-FeedBack
-"Boomy sound".
-budget and money problems...

Can you give me some advices?
Thanks in advance to all, Emiliano.

Instead of a mic I'd recommend something like this:

Thanks Zac,
you reply is reasonable,
but I've tried several transducers and nothing is approached to a Mic...
