Eddie, go back and try pointing that '57 at the spider, think the same as mic'ing a small amp with a single 12 or 8 inch speaker, meaning place the bidness end of the mic towards the outer part of the cone, about 1/3rd of the way in from the edge.

Of course, if you are trying to play the Dobie with an electric band, you may just have to go the pickup/preamp route to be heard over that.
