Green Sound-Wave :: new generation sound

For recording one of the large acoustic bass guitars now popular, try a large diaphragm condensor microphone. Keep the microphone within a foot of the instrument to avoid reflections from the floor. Place it about a half foot above the bridge; experiment with how much you aim it toward the sound hole, but don?t go overboard. Too much aim at the sound hole will add reverb, and you can always add more reverb in the mix.
