Recording Notes

  • 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.
  • Blend the direct input signal with the miked amp signal to taste.
