Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with a combination of DI and mic'd amp. The Neumann U47 was likely used as a room mic.
• The Ampeg SVT provided the warmth and punch while the overdrive was added to give the bass some edge and definition.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Precision Bass for its inherent punch and clarity.
• Use an Ampeg SVT amplifier to capture the warmth and roundness.
• Experiment with a light overdrive pedal or the amp's natural gain to add some grit.
• Blend a DI signal with the mic'd amp signal for added clarity and control.
• Use a Neumann U47 to capture the full sound of the amp and room.
