MISA

In the Instagram post by misa_bandmaid, MISA is shown with the Orange Amplifiers OBC115 1x15" 400W Bass Cabinet as the bottom cabinet in the setup. This cabinet appears to be primarily used for recording, as live performance photos typically feature a single or double OBC410 configuration.

In a photo shared by Band-Maid on Twitter, MISA's Orange Amplifiers AD 200 Bass Mk 3 can be seen in the background during a live performance at The Dome in London. MISA uses this amplifier head for live shows, while the Orange 4 Stroke 300 is used for both recording and select live performances.

Translated part of the interview:

-So well, talking about bass sounds, in this new album I believe it was heavier and steadier, getting better than before. What is your take on this?

Usually I use an ORANGE amp(4-STROKE-300) at services, in this recording I was able to use it. Concerning the bass sounds, it was a big thing that I was able to use the same amplifier that I use at services.

-I see. So you were using equipment you were familiar with.

Also on the sound making, I discussed and decided it with the sound engineer. Something like "I want to add a bit more at this point." The bass guitar I used mainly was the BLACK CLOUD model. This was the first time I had a custom guitar made just for me.

-How did you order it?

I asked for a pitch black bass guitar. And they completed what can only be called a pitch black bass guitar model. Also, according to the song I use my earlier G&L.

-How about your tuning? Is the lowest tone B or C, example in [Carry on Living] there is definitely a C#.

Yes. In [Carry on Living] I use up to B.

-When the root tone is C# or D flat, isn't it hard to use the open strings.

Yes. But in the end I recorded all the songs with a 5 string bass guitar with regular tuning. This was the first time I recorded all the songs with regular tuning.

-In any case, in the new BAND-MAID songs a 5 string bass guitar is necessary. As to your roots, you were alternative music and not something that would use a 5 string bass guitar.

Of course. The bass guitarists I love are all 4 string musicians.(laughs)

Picture of her amp setup. This is the top cabinet.

Not sure when or where this was but the photo was taken by David Tong.

In the background, you can clearly see an Orange OB1 variant (not sure if it's a 300 watt or 500 watt). On top of an Orange OBC410.
