That sets it up to record sound only. Take a line out to your computer and once it is switched on it is a live mic. You could just record on the Q3 and copy across from the SD card as well. [/quote] Thanks! I knew how to set up for mic only, but wasn't sure about hooking up to PC. Where does the line out from the Q3 go on the PC?

Hi all I want to use my Zoom to do a quick multi track for my daughter's school project (guitar/vocal/drums/bass). Is this possible? Can I set up the Zoom as a mic and record straight into Reaper with it? Cheers Gareth

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1387028749' post='2307559'] I know I might be playing devils advocate to some extent asking this question , but are you sure you can handle an unlined fretless board? Are you an experienced fretless player ? I've been playing some fretless lately after a long layoff from it , and I am [u][i]extremely[/i] [/u]grateful for the fret lines on my bass for a variety of reasons. I nearly bought an unlined bass, but I realise now that would have been a mistake . These look like lovely basses , but that lovliness would be negated if you can't play it in tune properly. Not much sounds worse than out-of-tune fretless playing. [/quote] I've played an unlined fretless for almost every gig I've done over the last six years, so I think I'll be okay

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1386980432' post='2307266'] The buffered J pup is pretty characteristic. I don't know how easy it is to replicate... [/quote] That's a very good point Michael.

[quote name='dmz' timestamp='1386977915' post='2307244'] Stick a J pickup in one of these ? [url="http://www.theguitaremporium.com/Fender-Japan-PB62FL-FJ-PB62-FL.htm"]http://www.theguitar...-FJ-PB62-FL.htm[/url] Could look out on e-bay or "nearly new" from Japan I guess. I prefer my fretless P Basses to have the "TV" decal on them - don't know if that would be a biggie with you ? [/quote] That's a good shout. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1386978811' post='2307254'] Will no other fretless P (with added J) sunburst/torty fit the bill?[/quote] Yes, I guess so, but I've read so many good reviews of the TFs it's hard to resist one!

Great amps. Thinking of getting another myself....

Looks like I'll source one from the US in the new year.

I switch between electric fretless and EUB all the time. I've tried a number of different options over the years, but I keep coming back to the [url="http://www.tonebone.com/re-bigshot-io.htm"]Bigshot i/o[/url] as one of the simplest and most effective.

A truly fantastic album. Cozy Powell at his thunderous best too.

Whatever works for the individual, of course, but personally I find an unlined board sexy as hell. It just screams out "play me".

Any more spotted anywhere?

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1386242221' post='2297538'] I know someone who has one - he's got a zillion basses so may be persuaded to sell. I'll give him a shout and see what he says [/quote] Thank you Barrie!!!

[quote name='gareth' timestamp='1386240040' post='2297498'] Gareth sorry I could not help on this occasion - can I congratulate you on your avatar photo - the late great Ronnie Lane - a terrifically original and severely under-rated bass player - I don't think anyone has ever repeated his type of bass lines - certainly a heavy influence on my own playing style for sure [/quote] No problem at all, thanks for coming back to me so quickly yesterday. Yes, Ronnie was quite the man.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1386174653' post='2296757'] My only other suggestion would be to nag BC'er Gareth, who owns Legion's old sunburst TF fretless if i am not mistaken [/quote] I may drop him a speculative PM... (Edit: not interested in selling sadly) [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1386174825' post='2296763'] If you really need one urgently, you're more than welcome to borrow mine. I'll need it back by next Thursday though as we have a gig the following day [/quote] That's a very kind offer. I'm okay for this weekend's gig though.

Surprsie surprise, neither of those shops actually have stock

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1386174041' post='2296751'] Indeed, IIRC the TF comes in white also? Re PJ, I used an East P-Retro in my old 70's fretted Precision and got tone very close to a J-PUP without having to mod anything. It's an option? [/quote] Yes, white and amber are the fretted versions, black and sunburst the fretless.
