Checking my mixer manual, I see the Tape input is designed for -10dBV but the Line input can do anything from -23dBV to +17dBV. It does say this line input is suitable for both instruments and high output mics, and it has a little picture of a guitar. So I guess that explains why the bass sound was OK in this case. As the old saying goes, 'read the full manual'. I think that's what RTFM stands for, anyway... Cheers Daniel
