I did a record with Bryan Carlstrom a few years ago.

The bass was courtesy of an SVT with a Mesa Bass 400 head with the cab in a small lounge next door to the tracking room of the South Studio at Track Record in No. Hollywood.

I wanna say the SVT had an RE20 on it.

This is the room we used:

Here's Bryan's website. I don't know how current some of this is:

The drums were a Ross Garfield kit, fairly standard rock deal. Snare was a big brass Tama Superstar. Bryan put a P.A. in the drum room and sent the mix from the kit's close mics thru the P.A. JBL 2 x 15's IIRC.

There were lots of layers of guitars. I used a Triple Rectifier, my old Marshall JMP and a few other odds and ends (Bryan has a nice Oahu amplifier.)

Bryan lists his gear on his website, and the rack is pretty much exactly what I remember. There were quite a few Summit Tube Preamps in there.

There's a 6068 E in that room.

I wasn't much of a recording geek at the time, so I can only remember the obvious stuff, but maybe some of this will be interesting.
