Forum,
I have an opportunity to record a small salsa band in a few weeks. I have never recorded a salsa band, but i have been reading many post and articles on how to mic each instrument etc...
I thought I would ask the advise of people more experienced. Here is the instrumentation.
Female Vocal.
Keyboard
Ampeg upright baby bass
Congas
Timbales
Bongos/Cowbell
Trumpet
Here is what I have to work with. Please note that I don't have the resources to rent or "borrow" high end gear.

What would be a good mic choice (using what I have available) for each instrument.
What mic should I put in which pre amp?
Please note, I do have the liberty of of tracking separately and I do have isolation available.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
