# Did you record it
with the bass plugged directly into the mixer, or was it souped up with a preamp of some kind?

# Well...
I play on a custom-designed bass, with a built-in preamp. It's got an on board parametric EQ so I can mess with it however I'd like, with a mid frequency selector.
So, to answer you question... not exactly.

# Yay!
Parametric EQ'ing rules! It seems to be a quality preamp in that bass of yours! I'm thinking of getting an active EMG pickup kit for my stratocaster one fine day!

# A fine choice :)
I've got a full Bartonlini setup in mine (2 soapbar pickups with the active para-EQ) which is excellent. Though EMG pickups have statistically been better off for studio ventures.

# I tried a strat with
Bartolini pickups once and the sound was very clear and bell-like! Now you've made me think of Bartolini as an alternative!
