Bass Rig
For much of the recording process, this was the rig that was used to track the bass parts. An Orange Terror Bass 1000 Watt Head, An Orange 4X10 Cabinet, and an Orange 1X15 Cabinet. I used a direct line out of the head, a Nuemann U87 with a cardioid pattern on one of the 10" speakers, and the DW moon mic (the same one we used on the kick drum) to capture the low end of the 15" speaker. I find this combination to be thick, monstrous, and so tasty.
