For me, it really depends on the style of music. For an older style, I may be more likely to go with a single mic, but for newer stuff, I'll use 2 mics. For a bop recording, I'll go for two that are panned with the high at hard left and the low at 1:00 or so to have localization with spread... For a fusion/pop-jazz kind of sound, I'll be more likely to pan all the way across the spectrum.

I'm not somewhere to hear your MP3, so I can't comment based on that..
