in a profesional Studio

1.to record the Bass Guitar direct thru a D.I Box ( AVALON ) then inside to Telefunken PreAmp and then to the Console.

2.a Condenser Mic in front of a Good Bass Amplifre plug to the same D.I as above in adition...

what is the best way of the 2 options above, to record a good, solid, fatty,with alot of Charisma Bass line ?

or mabie you have another way ?

Hi Yoram..
?What about recording the 2 Chnl's and then Mixing them up together

No rules...

Anything goes - amp DI or both.

If U do record both though keep them on separate trax.

Bass sound REALLY comes from the player, and is very sensitive 2 variations in cable, mic positioning, DI and pre.

A good player w/ a decent gtr DI and pre will get U what U need.

The final color is ANYWAY set in relation 2 the low-mid elements of the mix, so what U need is really a decent picture of the instrument and per4mer.

Just make sure that no parts r "missing".

Peace,
