When you're recording you need to consider whether the pure signal from the bass guitar is what you want to record. With any type of electric guitar the speaker is part of the sound and it's common to use an amplifier and put a mic in front of that. The direct signal has a distinctive 'clean' sound which may or may not suit the type of music you want to make. -- Anahata anahata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tel: 01638 720444 http://www.treewind.co.uk Mob: 07976 263827
