The only condeser Mic I have and have ever used is an
Aleses AM51 --(Still quite a newbie after a little over a year)

Got a really good deal on it in a close out at Guitar Center

How would you rate this mic?

Now I'm looking at adding another mic to use along with it for acoustic guitar and vocals --- trying to figure what might complemnet it
 
It's an OK mic. I have an AM-52 which is the multi pattern version of this mic. Yours is cardiod only. It's OK on some vocals and pretty nice on acoustic guitar. I like mine out in front of a drum kit as a room mic best. Something like an AT-4040 would be the opposit flavor of this mic, The 51 on Guitar and a 404o for vocals would be cool.
 
Thanks Track Rat,

Wish I could afford that AT 4040!!!
Checked em out on ebay going for around $289

I paid less that half that for the AM51

Looking for something that would give me something different

looking at a Studio Projects B3 at humbucker Muscis for $159
What about the Ocktava mk012's
