Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with the amp in a fairly dead room to minimize reflections and keep the sound focused.
• A direct input signal may have been blended subtly with the microphone signal to add clarity and punch.

Recreation Tips

• Use a P-bass with flatwound strings for a similar fundamental tone.
• Emphasize the low mids around 250-500Hz to get that warm, full sound.
• A touch of compression can help even out the dynamics and add sustain without sacrificing the natural feel.

Recommended Gear

• Fender Precision Bass(guitar)
• Ampeg B-15(amp)
• Neumann U47(mic)
