    Hi - I've got a fretted Bass Collection, but would like a fretless to complete the set! A couple of questions - the bass looks like it's been de-fretted rather than an original fretless as they don't have any lines? Also is it passive or active? If you could let me know! thanks

    Bought the fretless Stagg bass from Frank - really nice guy to deal with - packaging was heavier than the bass!! Next from Northern Ireland - very impressed - would recommend to anyone Obviously am now hooked on fretless and the same as everyone will have to upgrade soon! Thank you

    Still for sale!! Aria IGB-STD Bass There were no marks on this bass at all until I didn't hang it and one of the kids knocked it over - pic attached The bump is on the lower back of the body and un-noticable when viewed from the front or when you're playing it! It even still has the protective plastic attached to the back-plate! Apart from that it is absolutely immaculate I bought it with the intention of performing some modifications - but its too nice a bass to do anything to, and I'm running out of room for more instruments.. They're £189 new (lowest price I've been able to find) It's 34" scale, 24 frets, one single coil, one humbucker Looking for around £100 ono Easiest for collection - either in Suffolk, or I can bring to London when I'm at work and meet in the N9/ N18 area Will post if I have to but I'll need to find a box for it first! Any more questions please let me know Eye fang ewe [/quote]

    I can understand how an interface would benefit me - I'm not looking to spend a huge amount of money - but again, I've got to plug the interface into my Mac in some way? - I use the onboard sound card plugged through monitor speakers It sounds OK to me - I'm not looking for high end studio quality sound, (I've looked at your rather impressive and no doubt hugely expensive studio build) - most people never listen to music on high end hifi equipment, so that doesn't concern me too much So back to my original question - how would I connect an interface? - is firewire best? - or is a firewire mixer the way to go? I'm no sound engineer/ producer wannabe, but I would like a clean(ish) sound! A lot of my recording is midi guitar/ bass - so no noise issues at all - but I do like a "live" guitar/ bass sound too! thanks for your replies btw

    [quote name='Rimskidog' post='1347687' date='Aug 22 2011, 01:03 AM']on most records you'll hear on the radio the bass was DI'd. Occasionally it was DI'd and mic'd (especially if the arrangement is a sparse one) but usually just DI'd. It will then often have been multed and processed. To get top sounds you'll need a top class DI (I have a Creation Audio MW1 for clean and an A Designs Reddi for tubey) but as long as your DI is a decent enough one (the BSS AR 133 is a great bang for buck) few people will be able to tell the difference in the mix. And yep, I'm a bass player too not just a cloth eared sound engineer. [/quote] I've looked at the DI's you've suggested but how does that make a difference to the sound? As I said I currently connect to my Mac with a phono to USB, I don't have/ use a mixing desk at all - should I be? I'd still have to go from the DI box to the Mac with a phono USB surely?

    I'm keen to add some bass tracks into my idea in Logic - but am unsure as tothe best way to record them Guitar (boo hiss) parts are easy as there is every amp/ config under the sun in Logic 9 and I just plug in with a phone to usb lead There are nowhere near as many bass parts to use though Is bass better recorded from a miked up amp? - or direct into a mixer or direct into Logic? Sounds a bit woody to me straight in but that could my set up? Any ideas/ suggestions apprecitated
