The Last Bass Outpost

Thanks for sharing John. Hello all. I'm a Gibson Bass addict. It all started after about a year of playing bass. I had borrowed a Ric 4001 and my brother and guitarplayer of the band bought me an Alder bodied walnut Grabber. 2 years later I was seduced by the Leo created P-bass and I got stuck subconsciously dissatisfied for eight years until I bought a Gibson EB-3, started searching for details and stumbled across Dudepit. Six years later I have eight Gibson basses. I don't know what struck me.

It was pulled.

I've seen the first one before. Really nice (I think I PM:d Scott about it).

The second one was nice too.

I've wondered also. I have never recorded straight into my computer. I suppose you can use the recording input of the sound card but my guess is you will need something like a DI Box or mixer between the bass and input since it is probably made for low level signals. The bass straight in will probably distort badly.

I was busy working during the weekend and registered last night. I'm glad you created this Dave and Uwe. A new safe haven. Thanks!

Good job! That tortoise guard goes well with the natural fin.

Interesting Rob. I had an email conversation with an audio electronics guy about using the slave output. He recommended using a passive DI box with a durable transformer and/or pad. The reason was the slave output can put out a higher voltage than regular signals but of course this depends on which volume you set on the amp. I guess it is no risk going directly to the mixing desk while using moderate volumes or keeping a good eye on the gain and using the pad if available on the desk.
