Audio Technica, Shure, Audix, Beyerdynamic, AKG all make well used and trusted kick drum and bass recording microphones.
Now to add to your choice is the Telfunken M82 which also makes a great broadcast and guitar recording mic too due to it’s switchable EQ.
Telefunken have forged a genuine alternative to the likes of Neuman in the high end, large diaphragm market and also brought serious competition to the U87 with the CU29 Copperhead & AK47mk2 which actually cost less!
Would also strongly recommend giving the M82 a listen.
Here’s a video of the M82 recording Double Bass:
