Ok - fired up the scope again, though i couldnt get the combo and mic seperated enough to stop that funny squaring off on the peaks, even with the mic level on about number 2 or 3 and the combo 2 metres from the mic
Took 4 screenshots at various points - just looks like gobbledygook to me
Just tried again, and now the graph will not work. I know the mic is working because i shouted some obscenities into it and the meter is working fine, jumping up and down to some choice words, but the graph on the scope is not even registering.
Screen shot of me swearing into the mic, which has peaked
And screenshot of whats happening on the scope...
Or this..

Dont forget Cort basses. They're pretty well made and ideal for a first bass, and not a pile of firewood.
There's a few Cort models around, and yes , buy 2nd hand and you will get a bargain.
Here's a new one...

Had a look but couldnt find any " stretch " button. There is something called Analyze , which i tried, and this is what the result was. As above , dont know how useful this is
Ok, last try - did a phone recording, since at least i can save those to Laptop.
Open E plucked at mid point , 12th fret.
Then open file in Audacity, and screen shot it, but how this might help, i dont know
bass recording.mp3
Aha
Found internal recording thingy, and its recording the bass, but bizarrely, there is no SAVE button. I dont get it.
Such a palava. Back in the cupboard
