From our bass session with Garota. We recorded bass through my 30-year-old Trace Elliot and a Gallien-Krueger 4x10 cab (thanks, .bass !)
For mics we used my DIY figure-8 dynamic (that's the janky-looking one, I made it from spare headphone drivers), a Shure SM7b, and a cheap t.bone RM700 ribbon mic.
The DIY fig-8 mic caught some nice growly low-mids, while the SM7b served as the bulk of the tone. The RM700 ribbon registered the sides, nulling the cab itself; I duplicate that track in the mix and flip its polarity, resulting in a stereo track that I can use as needed later on.
