Punchy, bright, and funky bass tone with a slightly overdriven edge, providing a driving rhythmic foundation.

Recording Notes

• The bass was likely recorded with a combination of DI and a mic'd amp, blended to capture both clarity and amp character.
• SansAmp emulates the sound of driving the ampeg into a smooth overdrive

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Precision Bass for that classic sound.
• Use an Ampeg SVT or an amp sim to get a thick, powerful tone.
• Dial in a slight overdrive with a SansAmp Bass Driver DI to add some grit and character.
• Blend the DI signal with the mic'd amp signal to get a balanced tone.
