Another vote for the DPA 4099V; although I use one on mandolin and not fiddle.

I remember having had decent results on fiddle with an ancient (1970s) Barcus Berry pickup attached to the bridge rather than the top. You might also like to try attaching a wire mute http://www.thestringzone.co.uk/roth-sihon-violin-mute to the fiddle to restrict the top end.
