Recording Notes

• The bass sound aims for clarity and punch, likely achieved through a combination of direct input and miked amplifier.
• The Roland Dimension D adds a subtle, wide chorus effect, characteristic of many 80s basslines.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a bass that has a clear and defined tone, like a Yamaha BB series or similar.
• Use an Ampeg SVT or an amp model that emulates its characteristics.
• Add a touch of chorus or spatial enhancement using a Roland Dimension D plugin or similar effect. Keep the effect subtle to avoid overpowering the fundamental tone.
• Blend a direct input signal with a miked amplifier signal to get the desired clarity and punch.
