Motown P Bass Tone Figured Out!?

[Ben Noblit]

Jamerson recorded through an overdriven B15 until after '64 ir I remember correctly. After that, he recorded through a one-off tube preamp/DI that took Motown's guitars as well, which he would turn all the way up to distort the sound. It's pretty obvious that the sound he was going for with that DI was his sound with the B15.

I'm pretty sure he used a Fender BXR 25 and an iphone.

Haha, that's the only gear I'm playing through from now on. It's an iPhone 4, by the way
