i have recorded an acoustic rythm for one of my songs but there is this bass boom that sounds every now and then it makes it sound like there is a drum beating every now and then. Im sure there must be a way of isolating the frequency and pulling it down maybe not getting rid of it entirely but at least dampening it.
Any ideas?

Try multi-band EQ to isolate the offending frequency.
Life is like a musical by Andrew Lloyd-Webber. Very popular and not as bad as some would have you believe. That is, unspeakably awful but mercifully brief.

I take it you are miking an acoustic guitar right at the hole. try miking it on the neck part near the hole. the boominess is coming from having the mic over the hole.

...use low pass filter.

Try recording with the mic around the 12th fret.........then using the eq, boost the gain and sweep through until you find the sound you don't like, adjust the Q and cut the gain to taste.
Its not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the balls on the dog.

You could also try mic'ing at the bridge, just at the edge on the lower bout side.
Why would he do that if he wanted an acoustic guitar sound?

Un-plugged is not the same as

An acoustic simulator is about as close to a true acoustic sound as diet-cola is to regular-cola! Even acoustic on-board electronics only gets you close. Guitar-to-mic through a good PA is the truest replication. Electronic replication is sort of a one-size-fits all generic acoustic sound. A Gibson, Martin, Taylor and even a... whatever... Ovation... will all sound almost the same if they use the same identical on-board electronics, even though a guitarist who's into acoustics knows that each of those guitars has very different acoustic properties. Basically the sound is created mostly by the electronics and much less of the properties and resonnance of the particular guitar and its woods and construction techniques.

No, he didn't. I just kind of assumed since he was using an acoustic guitar he probably wanted an acoustic sound.
