I think if you have an amp that you like, definitely try to mic it up. If you don't or noise is an issue than there are a bunch of d.i. boxes that sound good. I like the Sansamp Bass Driver d.i. and the Ampeg SCR-DI. But just for an example, neither of those is gonna sound like this Mesa. The Mesa is also never gonna sound like the Ampeg, and it's loud so can't record at night where I live. So they both have a situation where they are useful.
Sounds great! Came looking for a KIRG Volca Sample 2 full length video after seeing your short and found this instead.
Suena increíble
GREAT! thanks for uploading, can you do another like this? with the same effect¨?
So do you have an opinion on mic vs DI for bass?
