Quantum Leap Spaces convolution reverb. Sounds good on anything.

One experiment that is fun to try if you can is to record in the kitchen or another room than you normally would. I tried this for some acoustic guitar once, and I got some pretty cool results. All it took was some long cables and a remote.

I've even heard of someone doing that in a shower stall because of the ceramic tiles.  

You do have to be a little careful sometimes recording in bathrooms because the room may have some nasty resonances and make some notes jump out more than others etc. It is a good idea to look at the dimensions of a bathroom and plug those values into the formula that relates speed of sound to wavelength and frequency.

eg Freq = Speed of sound/ length

Speed of sound can be feet per sec eg 1120 ft/s or 344 metres/second.

Hard surfaces in a bathroom will encourage sound to bounce off walls with great vigour. One of my bathroom dimensions is 2.2 metres which equates to a frequency of 156 Hz. So this frequency could boom or null out. Right in the lower register of the classical guitar. 

An interesting thing to do is to put a quality speaker in your bathroom and feed a sine wave sweep from 40 to 10KHz etc. Put an omni directional quality mic in there and have a look at the level variations. You might be pretty surprised. Funny things will happen at the three room dimension frequencies for sure.

Recording in a more dead environment and up a little closer and using a very nice sounding convolution reverb with a nice small live room to my ears sounds a lot better.

 I don't know what the best is, but my favorites so far are TC's VSSR and EWQL spaces for nylon
