On most recordings that I did with acoustic bass

didn't use the pickup because the sound is not as full as that from the mic.
Also you have to play with the mic and source position because when
recording low frequency sources (i.e. bass) room modes have a great impact
on the sound.
You can have a great mic and place it in a dip where you don't get certain
frequencies. This is even more relevant when recording in a small room.
I second
both of these statements. Also, each guitar/player combination
has its very own sweet spot, ane likely the same with acoustic basses.
Personally, I would experiment some more before purchasing something
which may or may not solve your perceived problem (or potentially even
make it worse).
