I mainly record my own vocals, and an occasional harmonica or one string guitar (meaning 1 string is about all I can play out of my 3 guitars, seriously)

AKG 3000 (my first mic, I use it on everything, mostly vocals)

Oktava MK-2500 tube mic (sounds good, picks up the whole room though which is why I use the AKG most the time. Has a soft, valvy, subtle, fuzziness sound to it.) The first one I bought new from GC was completely dead, and I had to go right back and get another one, quality control is an issue with this brand of mic.

Shure 58 (usually use it on vocals, rejects most background noise, I can sometimes even go without headphones, and just listen through the monitors while recording, depending on the material)

AKG 1000 (A decent mic, seems to act somewhat similar to my sm 58, I don't use it that much, because I don't have a proper stand adapter to hold it with)

Sony Stereo mic $80 or so (works excellent when I'm recording samples of the outdoors onto my minidisc recorder)
