Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with a combination of a direct input signal and a mic'd amplifier.
• Compression was used to even out the dynamics and add punch to the bass.
• The Neumann U47 was positioned to capture the full sound of the Ampeg SVT.
• The Urei 1176 probably to add punch and control the dynamics of the bass signal

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Precision Bass and play with a pick for a similar attack.
• Use an Ampeg SVT model (plugin or amp) for the fundamental tone.
• Apply compression using a Urei 1176-style plugin to achieve the desired punch and sustain.
• Blend a direct input signal with the amp signal for added clarity and definition.
• Experiment with microphone placement on the amp to find the sweet spot.
