Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded direct or with a miked amp in a controlled studio environment.
• Compression was likely applied during tracking or mixing to even out the dynamics and add punch.
• The Neumann U47 was placed to capture the roundness of the bass guitar, as U47s are known for their smooth low-end response.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Precision Bass or similar bass with flatwound strings.
• Use an Ampeg B-15 or a plugin emulation for a warm, vintage bass amp sound.
• Apply gentle compression to the bass signal to control dynamics and add sustain.
• EQ the bass to emphasize the low-mid frequencies for a round and full tone.
• Consider using a touch of tape saturation or a similar effect to add warmth and character.
