Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with a combination of a direct input signal and a miked amplifier to capture both the clean fundamentals and the amp's character.
• The Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI was used to add some subtle overdrive and amp-like qualities to the bass signal.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Jazz Bass or similar instrument with a bright and clear tone.
• Use an Ampeg SVT or a similar tube amp to get a warm and round bass tone.
• Add a touch of overdrive with a Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI or a similar bass overdrive pedal.
• Blend the direct signal with the amp signal to get a balanced tone with both clarity and warmth.
• Use an AKG D112 or a similar kick drum microphone to capture the low-end frequencies of the bass amp.
