Thanks Paul. The Marshall mics were 2001XP (right) and a 603S (left).
$155 from Musician's Friend. I can't afford any really good ones but
these aren't bad. I would normally mic the guitar but my mother-in-law
is living with me now (home health care) so I can't bring in the amp and
go to town. The bass is a Jerry Jones. It's the funkiest looking thing
I've ever seen It's got a pair of lipstick tube pickups and a 32"
scale but it sounds good. There's a picture of it on my site

Indeed, looks like Jan has discovered the "less-is-more" school
of drum miking, which IMHO is often the way to go - don't put 10 mics
on a drum kit unless you REALLY know what to do with 'em!
BTW, which cheap Marshall mics were those? is that the 600 or
the 603 or what? I need some more mics and I've had my eye
on those guys ...
> Digitech RP-100 for the guitar.
that was my only real complaint with the track I downloaded -
not a "natural" electric guitar sound at all.
Now I know why. :) Of course this is a matter of taste - I just
don't like "direct" guitar sound for most kinds of music.
Good bass sound - I don't usually like direct bass either,
but it's not obtrusive here, and it sits nicely in the mix.
Overall the mix is nicely balanced and pleasing.
Good job!
