Had some relatively good results running the DI off of my Ampeg V4BH and a ribbon mic on the Bag End S-12B cabinet direct to a Tascam Hard Disc recorder.
Ran the 4001C64S into my Diamond Custom Voiced Bass Compressor straight into the Ampeg.
Recorded live in a Coffee House setting, congas instead of the usual drum kit and only one electric guitar.
One WMA and three Real Player clips can be heard here:

What kind of ribbon mic did you use?

I will have to stop by the Studio that did the mix and check the log for you Jeff. There were so many mic/s being used that I just don't recall, other than it seemed warm, with a full bottom, to me. IIRC all three tracks were mixed at about 60% ribbon and 40% DI.

I used to have a Western electric 639B ribbon mic, wish I still had it. I used it for some recordings back in the early '80s.

The bass sound on Badge is very cool. Care to say what strings and pickup settings you used? It does sound like you're using a pick with flats and playing near the neck.

Thanks Alan,
Those are Pyramid flats, the pick was a D'Andrea Pro Plec, 1.5 mm Rounded Triangle.
IIRC the pickup selection was both on with the following control settings:
Toaster Volume backed off 1/4 or more"
Toaster Tone rolled off to 45%.
Horseshoe Volume backed off 1/8"
Horseshoe Tone backed off 25%.
Plucked between the toaster and the neck.
Good ears for those two guesses too.
