Correct way to connect & record guitar in stereo?

Hi, I need to make a video recording of a solo guitarist, and we want to make the recording in stereo using the chorus and delay pedals. What would be the optimal setup and method for the best quality stereo recording? Guitar will be recorded direct, not with a mic'd amp. Audio will be output from the mixer to the camcorder's XLR inputs (left and right channels)

Bought a new SM58

well, I was finally forced into replacing my old trusty 57 this weekend. It died last year (the ballad that which has been mentioned here many times so I won't get into that again, lol) but instead of buying a new one, I started using an old AT dynamic that is haf knocking around for years that I used instead. But, I couldn't get used to it tho.

Downtuned bass: Neck adjustment?

When playing playing a bass with downtuned strings do people often have to adjust the curvature of the neck so that the strings don't rattle? Or do the raise the strings at the bridge?

Example: I was listening to Bowie's "87 and Cry" and it sounds like he's playing a low C on the 1st string. 28 second mark...
