bass recording

[hipknot01]

mi lookn to record a live show of a band and i wondered if a peavey PVM 325 would be suitable on the bass amp

ive got a pvm 325 and with some eq tweaking you can get it to sound pretty nice, it gives a nice cutting edge which some bands like, and some bands hate.

so it would work on the bass guitar??

Why do you need to mic the amp? Wouldn't you be better off using a DI?

If the bass amp has a line out, I would say that it would be preferable to use that, rather than miking the cab in a live situation.

its an older amp and when i do it direct is comes out fuzzy and micing it just sounds so much better
