Tone Profile

A warm, round, and slightly overdriven bass tone that provides a solid foundation for the song. The sound is thick and punchy, with a subtle fuzz that adds character without overpowering the mix.

Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with a combination of direct input and a miked amplifier.
• The amp was probably cranked to achieve a slight overdrive.
• The fuzz pedal adds subtle harmonic distortion for added presence.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Precision Bass or similar bass with a split-coil pickup.
• Use an Ampeg SVT or a similar bass amp known for its warmth and low-end response.
• Experiment with a Colorsound Tone Bender or a comparable fuzz pedal, keeping the gain relatively low to avoid excessive distortion.
• Blend a direct input signal with the miked amp signal to achieve a balanced tone.
• Use an AKG D12 or a similar dynamic microphone known for its bass response to capture the amp's sound.
