I purchased a cheap Acoustic Electro cut away guitar recently for only £55.00. It's supposedly made in the best Chinese Music Instrument factory and is modeled after a Takermine. It's got a sold spruce top, mahogany back and sides with rosewood finger board, even the tuners are good quality.
This is my first recording with it, what do you think of the tone?
Decided to use live percussion, all played by me including, Bongos, Maracas, Tambourine, Bells and Triangle
Also used both picups on my Bass, I usually only use the neck picup.
There are a few mistakes, it has zillions of chords, I could have perfected it, but it sounds OK to me

Man that actually sounds really great, I'm loving the tone, and I really like the sound your getting with your bass! mmmm mmm good!! 
The guitar sounds great, nice and bright, crisp and clear...sounds like you got a great deal in sound for such a good deal on an acoustic/electric.
excellent playing and percussion by the way. made me smile

I should have also mentioned that I mic'd the guitar, I prefer it.
Hey Denis, I took another listen to this and I wanted to know how you recorded and got all the levels right for the bass. I really want to get some good bass tones in my recordings so it can stand out in the mix yet blend in nicely, so I was wondering how'd you do it.
And for the guitar you are just micing it? It sounds amazing

BASS SET-UP
Ibanez Musician Bass (think it was made early eighties}
Line 6 Bass pod (used pre-set Eq, with classic Jazz patch)
Instead of using the line 6 preamp output, I simply took the amp model output from the pod into my Art Gold Mic preamp instrument input and set the tube level as high as possible, that is what creates the warmth in the bass tone, tubes also act like a compressor, so I did not have to add much compression from my DAW.
I achieved this simply by playing around with different ways to produce a nice tone with the equipment I have.
ACOUSTIC GUITAR SET-UP
I use an AKG 1000s condenser and a Shure SM57 dynamic mic, the shure is placed at the level on the mid top of the guitar pointing mid-way down the fret board, about 12 inches and the AKG is placed to the right of the shure pointing at the 12th fret. Again I've experimented a lot to get the sound. In short the Shure gives a warm bassy sound and the AKG pics the highs including the subtle tone of the acoustics, thus blending them together gives a balanced FULL sound
EDit** Also put through my Art Gold Mic tube preamp
Hope this helps
Sounds beautiful! The guitar tone is wonderful. Very intimate.

Wow great sounding instruments. Really nice and clean.
You really have a nice setup for recording. Sounds like you have done a lot of experimenting to find what works just right.
