Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded direct, focusing on a clean signal path.
• Compression was used to even out the performance and add punch.
• The Distressor was possibly used to add some harmonic distortion and character.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Precision Bass or similar bass with a clear, fundamental tone.
• Record direct into your audio interface.
• Use a compressor like the Empirical Labs Distressor, or a plugin emulation, to add punch and control the dynamics.
• Experiment with subtle amounts of harmonic distortion to add character without making it sound overly processed.
• EQ to taste, focusing on the low-mids for warmth and the upper-bass for clarity.
