All my ribbon mics are always used as room mics. The only problem I have with them on guitar cabinets is that you need to dial the tone in them so you don't get a super boomy tone but the Apex 205 and the RB500 can be pretty cool when everything else fail. I don't really like the RB100 (too dark) and Rm700 (too harsh) on guitar cabinet but once again they are great as drum room mics.

I only used the MM-1's as room mics once and never bothered again. They sound ugly. I suspect they would be cool in a very diffused spot though.

I used to use the sc140 on hats and ride where they did a decent enough job. I wouldn't use them as Overhead unless I have no other choice though. They have the typical cheap Chinese harsh top end.
I used one as a second top mic once. It was really cool actually.

I use the MB75 as talk back cause it sounds horrible.

Thanks for the details dude

Do you feel that the Neumann u47 is really as good as its reputation?

Also has anyone used and really disliked the U87AI? It's got a bunch of weird presence region gunk that I really don't like on just about everything I've used it on.

Sennheiser E602
MXL A55 Kicker

Thinking about investing to a new BD mic. How do these two compare? I like the sound I've heard of the Sennheiser and the MXL seems great too, but I've yet to find a comparison between the two. I know they're not in the exact same price range, but they seem to have something in common.
