Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with a direct input signal blended with a mic'd amplifier cabinet.
• Compression was used to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
• The Neumann U47 was placed several feet from the cabinet to capture the full sound of the amp.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Precision Bass and flatwound strings for a similar fundamental tone.
• Use an Ampeg SVT or similar tube amplifier to add warmth and punch.
• Apply moderate compression with a Urei 1176 to control dynamics and add sustain.
• Blend a direct input signal with a mic'd amplifier cabinet for added clarity and definition.
