I'm gonna be recording something similar this week. Screamers are usually not so keen on standing up to a nice condensor (which is likely wasted on them anyway) so give them a decent dynamic, a pair of headphones, put them in a room and let them go nuts.
I'd also agree on the bassist comment (even though I'm a bassist myself). It's very easy to add a horrid sounding distortion, its impossible to remove it though. For the last band we recorded we DI'd the bass into the desk more or less raw and added overdrive later. The drums and bass were tracked at the same time so there was enough distorted bass bleeding into the overheads to fatten the sound up without losing all control of the bass tone.
