Recording a UL410 series 2

[Bjazzman]

So we're setting up our practice space for recording at the moment. My cab is facing the wall with the mic in front of it. Its a very interesting room being that it's his basement. Lots of cement and brick and metal down there. Thats why its against the wall. Im pretty sure this is 2 way cab so im not sure that micing it will be a good choice. I already have 4 di's in place. A radial duplex box for my bass/keyboards, a countryman for the effects boxes, and one comming out of my markbass f1 head. It might be redundant to mic the cab since im getting all of those signals. But here are my choices for mics from what i have at the moment: Sennheiser e602, AKG 2000b, AKG 451, Shure SM57, a couple of Shure SM58 clones.

just play with mic placement. if you have the tools, get as many tones as you can. you can pick and choose after the fact. -joep

Basement+mic = crappy recording IMO

Covering the walls and getting things down their to absorb the sound will do more than mic placement.

I have never had luck recording 2 or 3 way cabs with a mic, I just use a DI.
