I noticed everyone is writing about close mic technique.

What do you folks do about the sound we hear a few feet away? For example, you can't really hear what an electric guitar sounds like until you are a few feet from the amp. Micing a sax at the bell doesn't really give you all the tone we are used to hearing. Do any of you try to get that sound from a listener's perspective? If so, how do you do it?
