Just curious why you feel you need to *get* anything... doesn't the studio have stuff you could use (unless you're going for a specific sound they aren't capable of for whatever reason)?

it's my first recording with that band and the studio is not as big as the ones i've used to be... in fact, i dont know at all what is available for recording the bass !

Hi, Uziel

Just a dumb newbie question from a newbie here in TB, couldn't You just ask or e-mail the engineer that runs the studio about what's available?

I'd take along anything that I'm familiar with, and gives me "my" sound.

Regards

Just call up and find whats there.

Depending on what sound your wanting, you could always use one of thier mic pre's for the bass?

 

[Uziel]

i was thinking about having the bass DIed + Miced, and i'ld like to have mt own mic
yep i'll get in touch with the the studio...

i'm gasing about those gears...

REDDI +1
RE20+1
I never tried an M88 but all i hear are raves......
the REDDI is one killer DI

 

[ManuelJG]

+1 on the RDDI
or maybe a sadowsky DI
the avalon would work really nice too
maybe you'll need a compressor but, you can better add it when mixing the cd...
Avoid miking the cabs, it could be a pain in the ass...
