Recreation Tips

• Use an upright bass or a bass guitar with flatwound strings.
• Record the bass cleanly, focusing on capturing the natural tone of the instrument.
• Use a condenser microphone placed a few feet away from the bass to capture a full and balanced sound.
• Consider using a touch of compression to even out the dynamics.
• Roll off any excessive high frequencies to achieve a warm, smooth tone.
