Direct vrs. Mic'd bass tone

Forums

Ive gone back and forth between the two... I normally go with a bit of both... direct to get some of the highs and clicks, microphone to get some of the girth and low/mids.

however, i've reached a point where i'm not able to improve the tone of any bass i work with. and essentially rely on lots of EQ, compression and even pre-amp plugins.

Drum mics/Phase

Forums

So, couple of simple questions. What are the phase problems that people constantly talk about avoiding/fixing? Will I be affected by that with 2 overheads, a snare mic and a kick mic? I'll be reamping the snare after if I can. The sound that I'm trying to get is like that off of Everything Goes Numb by Streetlight Manifesto, or Keasby Nights by Catch 22.
