A reflective look at the bass guitar recording (LO4)

When I recorded my bass guitar, I had a clear idea of what I wanted to achieve and how I was going to do it. This can be found in the other posts on this blog on bass guitar but in particular in ‘Recording Bass Guitar (LO4)’. I can definitely say that I followed through on this preparation and I think the Muse (and Rage Against The Machine) influence on the bass can definitely be heard in my final tracks. For bass I recorded everything and re-amped exactly as I said I would and it was all done in one session. I used the basses and pedals I mentioned in the posts on bass and feel that on reflection the bass tone, particularly in Muse, was slightly more difficult to replicate than I originally anticipated.
Despite this, I am happy with how the bass guitars on the EP have turned out post-mix.

The microphone position and pedals used can be seen below.
