Recording Notes

• The bass sound was likely achieved by blending a direct input signal with a miked amplifier.
• The Ampeg SVT provides the low-end foundation and characteristic growl.
• The Univox Hi-Flier adds a distinctive mid-range honk.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a bass guitar that has a strong mid-range character.
• Use an Ampeg SVT or a plugin emulation of it.
• Experiment with light overdrive to add grit without sacrificing low-end.
• Blend a DI signal with the amp signal to retain clarity and punch.
