I even heard that on live gigs the bass is usually directly connected to the mixer. I've just ordered the Behringer Mic200 and I hope it will be good enough to get a decent recording. There's still the possibility to pipe it through jack-rack before entering ardour or even to apply effects when played back by ardour. Best regards ce
