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
Just tested the mic and its working fine.
Problem is, googling how to record sound hasnt revealed any answers.
I spoke into the mic, and can hear that on headphones, but whether it was recording or not, i have no idea. Do i need external software recording proggy ?
Googled my lenovo lappie and it has built in mic, but never used it so i can only assume it works.
Which website are you thinking - i didnt see any mention of that
One last test before storage - as the amp was detached from the combo, i hooked it up to my 1x15 and got the same buzzing / light farting, so i'm pretty sure its the amp. At least i know that much
