This was recorded on my old 1975 LSB, one of my favorite basses of all time....

Awesome sound.  Just became Alembic owner and wondering if you could provide brief summary of settings/EQ etc. for this recording.  Realize lots of variables...

Thanks.  The bass went directly into the board, in stereo.  The filters were wide open and the neck pickup was rolled down about 25%.  The bass tended to sound a bit like it had a hint of chorus on it.  I think the stereo nature of Series instruments give the bass a wider space to sit in the mix (depending upon how wide you pan each channel you can sit the bass line high or low [up or down] in the mix-- independent of the relative volume on the faders).  I love Alembic Series instruments.
