Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with a combination of direct input and a mic'd amplifier to capture both the clean articulation and the amp's natural overdrive.
• The Neumann U47 microphone was likely placed close to the speaker cabinet to capture the direct sound and low-end frequencies.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Rickenbacker 4001 bass or a similar model with bright, articulate pickups.
• Set the Vox AC30 amp to a slightly overdriven setting, pushing the tubes to add warmth and edge.
• Blend a direct input signal with the mic'd amp signal to achieve a balance of clarity and grit.
• Use a compressor to tighten the sound and enhance the attack.
