HELP! How do I make & order my bass?

[saxonbass]

'ecky... never played it fretted, so I can't really compare it with anything... and I'm not very good at describing tone, I just know what I like.

Haven't got the technology for a sound clip (at the moment)... sorry!

To make a decent soundclip - all you have to do is plug your bass into the "mic in" socket on your computer and record it with Audacity - a fabulous free sound recording and editing program.



All you might need is a 1/4" - 3.5mm adaptor so your instrument cable can plug into your PC.

The "mic in" method might not be the very best in the world - a dedicated audio interface for recording would be better, but using the mic in can often give quite good results.

Thanks Luke.I've been meaning to ask how I can record with a PC.
Is Audacity a download?

 

[Eberbachl]

Yeah - sure Greg,

Audacity is a free download from the link above. Totally free software and excellent for home recording.

It runs on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

 

[saxonbass]

Does it run with Windows Vista... otherwise known as "bloody windows vista"? :cry:

 

[trujo777]

If you love Warwicks, and want one to such an extent; check out our second-hand department. You can get a fairly new Streamer, $$, standards for a good price.

Then have it set up by a pro, and get new strings. It`ll save you money for strings and cables.

 

[Simon Farmery]

Get a part time job, work hard and start saving.

When you have enough money saved, order the bass of your dreams.

When it arrives, enjoy it.

That's what I did. Worked like mad and sold my soul and got a second hand Thumb NT 5 string. Didn't sleep the night before I was going to pick it up. (Blush)
