Re: Mic for accoustic (bass) guitar

[Neil <djdualcore@xxxxxxxxx>]

For the last accoustic guitar recording I made I used an Audio Technica 2021 (or similar AT small�diaphragm condenser) and a Sure SM57. �I thought the combination sounded nice. �It was a standard guitar, not a bass, so I can't vouch for what would happen in that lowest octave.�

I got the condenser at a pawn shop for about $75.

Clearly that mic is happy being plugged right in to your 1010. �Some of these others will not be. �You can buy a phantom power supply that does nothing but provide 48v to the mic if now isn't a good time to invest in a mixer or dedicated pre-amp. �Samson, AT and various other companies make them.
