Johannes Adema

Like most musicians, I also like equipment and I'm always searching the internet for what's worth checking out, but 

I'm also quite picky when it comes to equipment. That's why I don't have a lot of basses, amps, pedals and studiogear, but I do use it all.

​​Recording

BAE Audio 1073 MP mic preamp

A-Designs REDDI tube DI (still the best there is!)

Neve RNDI

SSL Pure Drive Quad mic preamp used for upright bass recordings

No compressors or eq during recording. That's for the mixer to decide.
