Hi!
I'm looking for some new ideas to record my bass guitar.
I'll try to get a dirty but clean deep sound.
Music is some kind of melodic death metal like older Paradise Lost.
I don't like the term "gothic metal"...
I use a warwick wamp400 with a 3x12"/1x8" cabinet.
Alternatively I have a 6x12" tech cabinet with a trace elliot.
But I prefere the clean sound of te warwick. The trace has to much
mids.
If I listen to one 12"-speaker 0.5m or less I hear the sound I want.
So it should be able to catch it with a microfon.
I tried a C451, a CAD E200 and a D112.
Both condensors sounds boring. It would no difference to DI.
The D112 sounds in the direction I want. But only the direction.
Its not the metallic deep sound I hear in front of a speaker.
Hard to decribe. A deep full sound (tuning down to B), your hear that
it is a steel(nickel) string but there are no those "high-clicks"
("slap").
Any ideas? If not it's the D112 combined with the DI signal.
In this case it's my own band and there other quality requirements...
