Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with a microphone placed relatively close to the amp to capture the direct sound.
• The Vox AC30 is known for its chimey clean tones and moderate overdrive when pushed, contributing to the bass's character.
• A Neumann U47 may have been used for its smooth and balanced frequency response.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Fender Precision Bass or similar bass with flatwound strings.
• Dial in a clean to slightly overdriven tone on a Vox AC30 or similar amp.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot.
• A touch of compression can help even out the performance and solidify the low-end.
