Do you mic an amp or use amp sims for bass and guitar (when recording)?

I usually use my UA LA 610 or Drawmer MX60 (DI) for bass. For my guitar, I have a Line6 Pod HD 500. I have tried a little lately to DI my guitar, and use TH3. Will try some more, as it gives me the possibility for "afterthought"..

Oooo...that POD 500HD(x) is something else and I really would love to have one....someday. As far as line 6 is concerned I only use POD Farm 2 which I really like and I do have the original Pod hardware, but don't use it anymore.....also use other guitar sims.

I had a brand new (in the box) HD500 in my studio for over a year. Never used it. Sold it. Don't miss it.

As much as I miss my (old) Marshall 2550, I think the HD500 is nice for my needs

I got it for about half price..
Edit: Half of secondhand price

I managed to trade (not the same person) my HD300n for a HD500 in under a week

Well there you go....how can you miss something you've never used?

Before this, I had an old Line6 POD2. In my opinion, they are almost indestructible

I gave mine to a friend after about 10 yrs. It's still going strong..

About the only things I miss nowadays are my EB3 and Rick basses. The EB3 begat the Rick and the Rick begat the Alembic.

I probably don't need them but I would sure like to have them to round out my "live" bass collection.

I know that my old Marshall is for (re) sale now, but I cannot afford it

And I guess that I'll never have a '68 Les Paul again either
