Papa, I have a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8. Cheddatom, I looked up Quadrafuzz and it seems to be a Cubase sorta thing. Can I get that retail? I think you are onto something just using compressor and distort /fuzz with limits.

I'm looking at a Digitech BP90 Bass effects pedal. It has 17 good reviews at my favorite music store website. Musiciansfriend. Correct me. I would plug the bass guitar into the BP90 then plug the BP90 into my Audio Interface? If anyone has used this or something like it shed some light !

Thank you. I didn't expect all these replies. I thought it was going to be like "dead battery means you can't play" Lots of ideas here. I most likely will never gig. But it will be at the top of my mind to unplug the instrument cord from the bass when I set her down.

Thanks, What does PJ stand for?

HI Bass Chat, I just bought my entry level Ibanez and It's great but it takes a 9 volt battery. Replacing the battery isn't so much a problem but I was wondering if the sound of the guitar will slowly diminish as the battery gets low or will it 'conk' out all at once..so to speak? Shed some energy on this battery question! Thank You

I cleverly will use Google Drive. Hope it works. Here are a few pics... Here is my Pawned Ibanez.. Really pretty when you sit her..or him...next to the price tag https://drive.google.com/open?id=10vxAcC8Ss86xUf43kx1R-NxQa64wGL47 https://drive.google.com/open?id=10c3o8_gBc0H6j2V7S6a5y_1bNfSkX6rr

I made a very wise choice (in my awesome opinion) and switched my DAW software from Apple Logic Pro to Ableton live. The only thing I really regret is how good their guitar amp plugins sounded. They even had 20 different amps specifically made for Bass. Ableton not so much. If you want any guitar amps you have to buy Ableton live Standard which is about $400 USD or more. Once you have Ableton Live Standard then you have to purchase their AMP plug in which is another cost. But hands down I still like Ableton Lite over any Digital Audio Workstation software I've tried.

I took a pic with my phone and it doesn't seem to want t to send through email. I'll take a nicer one tomorrow. I'm learning stand by me. Pretty Cool

So, I am new to the whole world of Bass playing and I am liking it. I'm not all that new to recording though but I do want to know what bass players think is best...plug ins. By plug ins I mean software that makes the bass sound "juicier" into the computer for recording. Or is there another route..like using effect boxes that plug into the Audio interface? This is where it gets a bit hazy to me. Anyone out there?? And I really am a little tired of people saying there is no better route its up to the you response... When all is said and done...there actually might be a better way. We might have to put our opinions away and face what could be a single truth. I don't mean to sound stingy. I'm really not.

I just got home from a pawn shop. I really don't like going into those. The guy next to me was pawning some kind of a rifle. I'm ready for the world to change. These rifles are sickening to me. Anyway... I bought myself a new bass at an amazing. price. I got an Ibanez , not sure what model. but it sounds great and it's so much more enjoyable to play then the keyboard. So it get props just for that!

All good stuff! Thanks Guys.

Yes,. I catch myself laying down just a few measures to try to make that chorus. And I keep telling myself that I need to perform the song and play as long as I can so that the verse can fall into the chorus. But we are getting into other parts of composing. ....or are we? I have no knowledge of bass when it comes to changing from verse to chorus and repetition and so on...

Great! Awesome! Thank you! Rock on guys

Is it recommended that you go to a music shop to get these things done to the bass? A lot of that seems pretty daunting even for a 31 year old man.

Thank You!
