that's kinda cool yer into analog 8 tracks. I bought a fostex cassette tape 8 track many moons ago for like $800, now you can get it on ebay for like $150-200. they say you can't run a hot signal into it to get the tape compression like wider tape, but I think you can. my recordings were very warm compared to a computer.

for recording guitar an sm57 shoved right up on the grill of your speaker cabinet is usually a good place to start. not sure about bass or drum mics. if you don't get enough responses here try:
