Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with the Precision Bass going into an Ampeg SVT. It's very common that the amp was close-mic'd with a Neumann U47-style microphone.
• Compression would have been applied to even out the performance and add punch.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Fender Precision Bass with flatwound strings for a similar fundamental tone.
• Set your amp for a clean, full sound with a slight emphasis on the low-mid frequencies.
• Experiment with microphone placement to capture the amp's sound accurately.
• Apply moderate compression to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
