You can play two guitars at once?
I'd pay money to see that!

i have heard of a this.....
place one mic (like a 57) about 1" from the center of the amp. then step back about 5 feet and place a mic there (try a condiser)
this placement should make your guitar sound "live" and "loud"
i have not tryed this out my self,but i learded it from the rainman!
hey sennheiser,
a friend of myne saw a guy once that could play 3 songs, all in there own key, own the same guitar, at the same time!
now I would pay to see that!

i have a marshall valvestate amp that is not that great but it has a line out jack and i gets the job done for now
what i was really wanting to know was do i need a condenser mic or a dynamic mic or both, and does it depend on the mixer
to decide which one i need
are they any benifits to one or the other
thanks for your help

monster...I'm not into micing amps so much, but I've heard that often the mixture of the two types of mics you're mentioning works great on rhythm or solo guitars..Some people mic the cabinet so that they put a dynamic closer to the amp (about 5-6 feet away) and a condensor a bit further away to pick up the room sound, and to probably give it a bit of natural delay as well..but as I said I'm not expert with this so don't take me too seriously ...for micing up the bass amp, I think one dynamic will do you..
Cheers

if i were you i'd mic up the marshall with a dynamic mic....shure 57 is a pretty standard, well priced option.......and i'd go straight into the mixer on the bass w/o micing the cab........many pro-engineers claim that they usually have the best results by directly recording bass, this is how i've always done it too........so, in short, all you 'need' is one decent dynamic mic

One possibility is to consider a good kick drum mic like AKG D112. Good for mic'ing bass cab and very usable on guitar cab. Usually, the condenser ambient mic farther away is an option for clean, quiet music in a good room. For metal, take any good dynamic mic and put it close to the speaker grill, then play with placement till you get the sound you want.-Richie
