Basses were mainly:

Guild Starfire
American Standard Fender Precision

And I had these there too, some of which got used here and there (referring to a photo):

Fender 50th Anniv precision (flatwounds)
Schecter 8-string
Wal Mach I
Fender Coronado
Englehardt upright
Guild JS100
Ricky 4003
Gibson RD Artist

The amp was an Ampeg B-15R reissue. The mic was a Fet 47 about a foot off the grill. No DI was used on this record....we tried and abandoned it before we cut the first song. Compression was 1176, and API 550A for some EQ. Sometimes pick, sometimes fingers, I alternate between song sections.

That's about it.

Best,
JMJ
