Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with a direct input signal blended with a mic'd amplifier.
• The AKG D12 would have been placed close to the speaker cone to capture the low-end frequencies of the Ampeg SVT.
• The direct input signal likely used for clarity and definition, blended with the amp for warmth and character.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Precision Bass with flatwound strings for a vintage tone.
• Use an Ampeg SVT amplifier or a similar model to capture the amp's characteristic warmth and punch.
• Blend a direct input signal with the amp's signal to achieve a balance of clarity and warmth.
• Use a microphone like the AKG D12 or similar dynamic microphone to capture the amp sound.
• Adjust EQ to emphasize the midrange frequencies for definition and clarity.
