Secondary electric guitar mic options?

Forums

Hey all, I have (of course) an SM-57 and a 58, but have been curious about getting another mic to compliment the 57 since I use it primarily for electric guitar. I've considered the CAD Trion 7000 and the Sennheiser 421 so far with having heard good reports about both. A common description is that they fatten things up, and we all love fat, right?

Suggestions for Bi-directional microphone

Forums

I've been interested in recording using the Stereo Mid-sides technique... However, no one I know owns a Bi-directional microphone, and nor do I. I tried it with 3 mics (all caridiod, one facing forward, the other 2 in a figure 8 pattern 180 degrees - as a bi-directional mic would pick up). It works well. But it creates a clutter of cords and stands.
