Hello there. Coming late to this discussion but if you haven't bought your mic yet, let me recommend the AKG C3000. These have recently come down in price to around the £130 mark, worth every penny. I have 3 of them of various vintages, and have used them in the studio for all sorts of things for many years, but especially for acoustic guitar. These are large diaphragm condensers, and it's an open secret that the capsule is the same as in the legendary, very expensive C414. Just the electronics inside the mic are different. Soundwise they are warm and clear, and they are easily robust enough to use micing up an amp. All the best Alistair Russell

All the best Alistair Russell Hi Alistair I've just had a look at the AKG C3000 and it does look extremely impressive for the money.....as you say, around the £130 mark. Also, what is even better is that it comes with a 4 year guarantee which is comforting. As it happens I haven't yet bought a mike, although it's currently top of the shopping list!, so it's incredibly helpful to have another recommendation. It's not easy buying a mike that will work well for an acoustic guitar but also for miking up a cab too. From what little I've read about the C3000 it seems like it covers both basses well. Thanks a million for the nod and I will report back if I end up with one!! Cheers Guy

The AKG C3000 is also great for recording vocals. Mark
