Has that been anyone's experience? Very much so! Si 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the EQ and processing that they have at their finger tips, the source is becoming less important - you can compress, realm and EQ anything to fit in the mix... all the box now too.

Bit like drum mics - any drum mics will do (within reason) - it just depends how much you want to faff with working the sound to the desired results. Other mics may get you there directly/quicker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) I thought the OP was asking about Jazz bass sound. Enough of those have been played on recordings over the years to suggest that any decent musician and recording engineer should be able to get a decent recorded sound with one (indeed they should be able to with any professional standard bass - including a Precision, Stingray, Yamaha, Rickenbacker, Hofner etc etc).
