Hi,
I'm searching for an (second hand) cheap bassguitar. Do you have suggestions for me? Which brands are 'good' in a low price class? Where should I be alert for when buying one? What about a amplifier? Do I need one, or can I play it using Linux? Thanks in advance, /D _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@... http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user |

If you look once again you'll see that it has a picup system, so you can record it just as a regular electric bass. /Sv-e _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@... http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user |

You can choose to record it by a microfone to get more tone. It's probably a little more inconvenient to handle than an electric one. The best way to find out, is to by the guitar at a local music store, where you can try it out before you by. /Sv-e _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@... http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user |

Where are you buying from?
There is a czech company named BACH Guitars. The gits are really cheap and at least as good as the typical Harley Bentons and even the Epiphones you can buy on Thomann. I bought a 335 copy from them for 300 Euro and its really good quality. Shure the pickups are not the best, but for the price the wood and mechanics are really good quality. I think better than an Epiphone 335 copy. I don't know about the basses but I would give it a try. You can buy a bassgit on ebay and send it back if you don't like it. The best would be to go there and check out for the best guitar in stock but the guy selling them lives in south of east germany and I don't know where you're coming from...

Reviews, etc on the net are a waste of time usually. It's how it is for you, not someone else. Not saying the reviews are a good source of making you feel better about the bass you bought ;) Of course, maybe if you are looking for an instrument, you can't go wrong with a Fender P or J Bass. It's really not that much money in the whole computer music $$$. It's also a nice simple instrument that does the job at hand. I play a washburn tarus t24 that i am very happy with and is quite cheap. $650.

I personally find that acoustic bass often have a quite porr sound. Recording them with a microphone is not that much a good idea (in most cases), as there will be lack of frequencies (bass, especially). There also often is some buzz problems with those basses, as the "lutherie" part of the bass is more important, and for an equal price you won't get the same electronics than a solid body. (got to see that, as most of -quite- good basses are active, electronics is often the first thing to fail with time...). And, the really important thing is that acoustic bass won't have such a "jazz" sound, but something much more like a "folk" one. By the way, you have to think about fretless if you're interested in walking a lot (if you thought about Marcus Miller as a jazz bass player, then, this is not true anymore! :)[1] I told you that, but actually I play on a acoustic/electric solid body bass, but it's quite a single isolated case (actually the bass is unic model): http://sebkhachott.pix.free.fr/albums_photos/2007_Freakshow_Artrock_Festival_Wurzburg//Freakshow_091.jpg http://sebkhachott.pix.free.fr/albums_photos/2007_Freakshow_Artrock_Festival_Wurzburg//Freakshow_019.jpg (the "luthier"'s website: www.leduc.fr) [1] Finally the first thing to ask is what kind of jazz do you mean? -- ============================== W.O.II /// Sebkha-Chott www.sebkhachott.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@... http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user |

Do a search for Rondo Music. I think it might be rondomusic.com.
They sell their own brand of guitars and basses named SX. If you check out the various forums, people have been raving about these. They're not much over 100 dollars. I bought an SX strat copy and I love it. 2008/7/2 Aurelien <orl@...>: On Wed, Jul 02, 2008 at 08:47:43AM +0200, Svend-Erik Kjær Madsen wrote : _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@... http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user |

I forget the name of the Mexican guitar-like bass, but McCabe's (in LA) sold quite a few of those when buyers realized how much better they sounded than the $$$ Dreadnaught-style basses. I think you're right about the resonant characteristics. In truth, the sound itself wasn't so bad, it just carried about two feet and just died there. No projection worth a damn. Maybe a good sound in studio though ?
