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

I like the look of the Apogee One - just have to save/ sell something else to pay for it!
thanks for all your assistance everyone -
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 -

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
