Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded in a studio environment with a focus on capturing a clean and direct sound.
• A Neumann U47 microphone was likely used to capture the natural tone of the bass and amp.
• The Ampeg B-15 provides the classic warm and round bass tone characteristic of many recordings from that era.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Fender Precision Bass with flatwound strings to capture the vintage vibe.
• An Ampeg B-15 or similar tube bass amp will get you close to the original tone.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot that captures the warmth and fullness of the amp.
• Avoid adding too much compression or EQ; the goal is to capture the natural sound of the instrument and amp.
