Bass Recording session 8.5.07

[corrientes]

On 8.5.07 we had the fortunate pleasure of going to The Groove Shoppe where Dave gave us the opportunity to record the bass track for our song "Forever and a Day".

We used Dave's absolutely amazing fretless Fodera bass. We recorded the bass track with an A-Designs Reddi Tube DI, an Avalon U5, and a Millenia TD1.

During mixdown, I reamped the bass tracks through the Emperical Labs Distressor with the same settings for all three (6:1 turn attack on 5, release 4.). I then blended a little of the compressed track in with the original track.

I will post pics and recordings from this session in this thread.

Well.. those are nice DI boxes, and nice basses. I was recently given a fretless Fender Jazz, and although I'm getting a good recorded tone via my pre-amps I'm considering getting a sansampRBI.
