Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with the amplifier in a moderately treated room, capturing a balance of direct sound and natural ambience.
• The signal was carefully monitored to avoid clipping or distortion, ensuring a clean and clear low-end.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Precision Bass and flatwound strings for a round, warm tone.
• Use an Ampeg SVT amplifier (or a plugin emulation) as a foundation for your bass sound.
• Set the amp's EQ for a balanced tone with a slight boost in the low-mids to add warmth and punch.
• Record the amp with a microphone like an AKG D12, positioning it a few inches from the speaker cone.
• In the mix, use gentle compression to even out the dynamics and ensure the bass sits well in the track.
• Avoid excessive processing or effects to maintain the clean and natural character of the bass.
