Ive found myself in a bit of a squeeze here and was hoping that some help could be given. I was asked to record an entire show consisting of a six band line-up later this month. However, its going to be an acoustic set which has caught me off guard seeing as how I know very little about recording acoustic shows. What mics/mic placement would you all suggest for doing this type of recording. Im currently getting BACK into recording and so my mic locker is quite empty (ie. sm57 and an old Oktava MK 319 that Ive had forever). I am willing to spend some money on mics but keep in mind that Im not looking for Neumanns or really any one mic that is going to cost more than 250-350 dollars. I need enough to do drum overheads, mic the snare and kick, bass, and then two acoustic guitars. For vocals the venue uses SM58's and I will most likely use the signal from the house mixer for those. Any input is greatly appreciate.
AND, I was going to use the search function but it isnt working at the moment so no flames please

Update: Ive done some research and talked to a few friends of mine and Ive been recommended a few of the following items:
Audix DP Drum Mic kit
A pair of NT5's for overheads
Audix I5's for recording the acoustics
and a ATM25 for doing the bass cab (as well as DI'ing it of course)
Any experience with these mics? Im sure there are loads of you with the NT 5's.
