Tell Tony, Eddie an the Cruises IS here
I set the rack units to +4 line .If that was a factor

?? Rob's comment was that devices that normally expect 'instrument level (whatever TF that IS!) MIGHT not react the same as for _4dBu. If of course the device can be set to +4, not a problem. There is still the point that the output of a passive guitar or bass is not Ohmic whereas an AI line out will be. Not, IMHO that it will really make much difference.I set the rack units to +4 line .
If I go straight in the interface, from a DI off the preamp, it sounds like this.. CAE 3+ straight off the output. GK MBE straight from the DI.
No EQing. No mixing really..Thumpy bass, no good bottom. ...bad..
The reason there are so many answers is that there is no single "perfect base sound". A passive P bass plugged into an interface sounds nothing like an active Spector plugged into the same interface.Thanks for all the replies. So, if I'm interpreting the bulk of answers correctly, there's generally some processing going on after the track is recorded.
Phone supply was what 5 volts. Isn't the USB supply 5 volts. Come up with your own version of phantom power for it and Wahla...Note, an old telephone microphone is a Carbon Granual device and needs a LV bias supply
Phantom power won't deliver anything like 20mA . You could use a bootstrap converter to get~ 10V at sufficient current but a lot easier to use a PP3! After that it is just a load resistor, a DC isolating cap and a 1:1 transformer, both cheap as chips.Wouldn't you want the Off hook voltage? Cause you pick it up it drops to 4-6 volts. That would be operating current..the off hook range.

Conveniently, phantom power is 48V
Conveniently, USB is 5V
Something should be workable in that problem set.
