Mic check 1

Check of bass with BEHRINGERTUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC200. Just some improvised stuff again... Recording stack: Ibanez ATK 300 (my bass) =&gt; BOSS GEB7 (EQ) =&gt; BOSS LMB3 (Limeter) =&gt;BEHRINGERTUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC200 (cheap tube preamp; in take 1 turned off) =&gt; Korg pandora mini (sound processor; used as reverberation + amp simulation) =&gt; M-audio fast track pro (audio interface) =&gt; sonar 8.5 (software recording environment; added some EQ/reverberation/compression in final mix).At take #2 MIC200 is turned ON in stack... and sound become more warm... not so dramatically changes but I like how it works...
