Here is a great piece from Enmore Audio on recording bass - Fat Tones and Isolation: The Joys of Recording Bass

None of these links work, much to my disappointment. Might as well un-sticky.

Marvelous guide. Most readable recording material I've seen.

I can't stress enough how much this has helped me (in fact, I posted it in this thread four years ago, but it bears repeating )!

I prepared this video on principles of tracking acoustic bass guitar and comparative demos of:

• Acoustic – with microphone
• Pickup – straight into DI
• Pickup – via tube preamp / DI
• Cabinet – with microphone
• Blend – tube DI & mic’d cabinet

PDF script of this video available at:

If you want to understand the fundamentals of microphones (and you should), there is probably no better article than this one:

The original article was done by Bore’ in 1973, and then updated by Peus in 1999. Together, they had about 70 years’ experience in microphone development at Neumann. To their credit, they do a good job of selecting useful examples from other brands as well as Neumann.

FYI - the recording bass articles in the sticky are broken.

The 2 bass recording articles listed in the OP have to be looked up in the Internet Archive. Here are the links.
