Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with a combination of direct input and a miked amplifier.
• The Neumann U47 would have been placed a few feet from the cabinet to capture a full sound.
• The Urei 1176 compressor would have been used to control the dynamics and add punch.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Precision Bass and flatwound strings for a similar fundamental tone.
• Use an Ampeg SVT model in your amp simulator for a warm, powerful sound.
• Apply a moderate amount of compression with a Urei 1176-style plugin to even out the performance and add sustain.
• Experiment with a touch of overdrive to add some grit and character to the tone.
