Recording small jazz combo.

Hey, I'm recording a small jazz combo in an untreated garageish room and don't really know how I should mic them. The first and so far only thing I tried was using one condensor as a room mic, which by itself got an ok sound. I placed it in the middle of the room by the sax player, the bass amp and drummer where in the corner of the room (pretty big garage).

Jazz & rock drum tunings

Hey guys can you please let me know what the different tunings are for drums (typically) is.
Like for instance, I know a drummer who learned to play in band back in high school. His teacher taught them how to tune to a jazz kit set-up. But now adays he plays mostly metal, and he still uses the same drum tuning he has asways used.

Fender Jazz Bass Pickup Question

I have a Fender Standard Jazz Bass 5 string. I bought it used and it has two pickups, One is really loud, and the second one (which I think sounds better, not as throaty as the first one) is really quiet. So if I'm trying for a nice smooth sound I have to crank up my amp. Is this a common problem, or should I look at this?
