Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with the amp in a relatively small room to capture some of the room's natural ambience.
• The direct input signal may have been blended with the mic'd cabinet to enhance clarity and punch.
• Compression was likely applied during mixing to even out the dynamics and ensure the bass sat well in the mix.

Recreation Tips

• Use a bass with a similar body type, like a hollowbody or semi-hollowbody, to capture the woody resonance.
• Experiment with different microphone positions on the amp to find the sweet spot that captures the desired tone.
• Use a compressor plugin to control the dynamics and add sustain.
• A touch of EQ can help shape the tone further, boosting the low-mids for warmth and cutting any unwanted frequencies.
