Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with the amp in a fairly dead room to minimize unwanted reflections.
• The Neumann U47 microphone was positioned to capture the amp's full low-end response.
• Compression and EQ (if applied) would have been used subtly to enhance the bass's clarity and presence.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Fender Precision Bass with flatwound strings for a fundamental, warm tone.
• An Ampeg SVT provides a full, round sound; adjust gain for desired drive.
• Use a Neumann U47 to capture the amp tone; adjust mic placement to find the sweet spot.
• Apply subtle compression and EQ to enhance clarity and maintain a consistent level.
