- The room ambience was probably minimal, focusing on a tight and controlled bass sound.
Recreation Tips
- Use a Fender Precision Bass with flatwound strings to get a similar fundamental tone.
- Set your amp for a slightly overdriven sound. Avoid excessive distortion.
- Blend a direct input signal with a miked amp signal. The DI signal should emphasize clarity and punch, while the amp provides warmth.
- Use a Neumann U47 or similar large diaphragm condenser microphone for recording the amp.
