They are using the MXL 4000 for vocals and the 603S on the guitar....I was thinking of using the MXL 4000 on acoustic guitar. I'm already getting a great sound with my Nuemann TLM 102's, but having extra mics always comes in handy for different flavors of sound or when friends come over for a recording jam session.
It's a very good looking mic. I've got a few MXL mics that I had intended on modding at some point but never got around to it. In the past, I'd found that on many MXL mics the top end needed taming. To me that was always the biggest difference between the MXL line and a better microphone. But that's years ago and I have no idea if that's improved.
