We gathered some bass related gear (thanks Siuhu!) and started to search for the ultimate sound. We used Machine Head's "The Blackening" as our loose reference, because I happen to have one of the bass tracks and it sounded great. We ended up using the following gear:
- RME Fireface 800 out
- Little Labs Redeye (re-amp box)
- Ibanez PD7 Distortion
- Hartke HA5500
- Hartke 115TP (15")
- AKG D112
- MS Audiotron Mic Pre
- FME Fireface 800 input
We also tried these pedals instead of Ibanez: Boss ODB-3 and Digitech Bass Driver. It was not hard to choose the Ibanez, because it had the character we were looking for. I would have prefered a 4x10" cabinet (the lows are tighter), but it was not available at this point. I will split the signal anyway into DI + amp, so it's not really a problem.
The microphone choice wasn't very hard either. We tried Sennheiser E602 first, but it cut way too much mids. AKG was a clear winner this time. It didn't took very long to find a great sound, because we didn't have too much gear to try out. We wrote some lyrics while re-amping the sound. Next thing to do is to record Ari's vocals. At some point we need to re-amp the guitars, but it's not possible yet.

ODB-3 works wonders with electric guitar, sounds very thick !
