The Wood Brothers - wonderful recorded DB sound
I was tipped to listen to the album 'Ways to lose' by the Wood Brothers (blues/folk duo) and duly downloaded. The DB sounds absolutely wonderful - so earthy, warm and a lovely buzz to the strings on the board. I am assuming that the DB must have been miked to get that sort of sound?
I couldn't find a link to the album but here they are live:
I love Chris Wood's playing,he does some great stuff on both Upright and Electric.
His bass is a 1920's Pfretzschner. In the studio he uses a vintage RCA 44-BX ribbon mic infront
of the bridge and a DPA condenser mic clipped to the body.
Live,he uses the DPA condenser and a Fishman Full Circle Pickup with the Wood Brothers,and the Full Circle
and a Realist with MMW,usually through an Ampeg B-15
