- The bass was likely recorded with a combination of direct input and a miked amplifier cabinet to capture both clarity and low-end punch.
- Distortion was likely achieved through the amp itself, possibly with some additional drive from a pedal.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a Fender Precision Bass and an Ampeg SVT amplifier.
- Experiment with the gain settings on the amp to achieve the desired level of distortion.
- Use an AKG D112 or similar microphone to capture the sound of the cabinet.
