Love to have a go on a double bass, but I don't live anywhere near Oxfordshire.

That kind of puts me off them, though I would like to try one with Stainless rounds. Whether anyone would be brave enough to put SS rounds on something like an EB2 is another question.

I'd say the first thing you'd need to consider is whether you're wanting to record just yourself or will be wanting to record multiple instruments simultaneously. If it's just a "solo" affair, then maybe some sort of DAW and an interface would be a good idea. The iPad should have GarageBand on it, you'll just need a compatible interface for recording. If you wanted to use the PC, again, an interface with a suitable DAW is the way to go. If you bought a brand new interface, it should come with a bundled DAW to get you started. Simple interfaces will have 1 or 2 inputs, and probably cost less than £100 for a pretty decent one. More inputs = more outlay. If you have a Multi-FX (Zoom/Line6/Boss/etc.), then you could simply use that as the interface, and record via its USB connection. A standalone multi-track recorder is a great idea too, there'll be loads of second hand ones kicking about, something like a Yamaha AW16G with an onboard HDD & CD-ROM.

Cheers. 👍

I think it was @jimmy23cricket that had the B3n, not me. Used to have a B3 a long time ago (well, it feels a long time ago!). Definitely preferred the Line6 devices over the Zoom, replaced the B3 with a PodXT Live, then the HD500x, now the POD Go. The only criticism of the POD Go is that it is limited, small number of "free" effects blocks, no parallel signal paths, no DI XLR, limited number of bass-specific effects, etc. None of these are deal breakers IMO, and I still think it's a great piece of kit for the bass player. I plug it into the "Effects Return" on my amp, so the signal is straight into the power amp section.

A couple to add to the list: Gibson Victory BC Rich Eagle / Seagull / Bich through neck from the 70's Dingwall D-Roc Always fancied a semi-hollow, twin single pickup bass, similar to a Warwick Star or something Gison-esque (a la Hooky)

Wow, had it for nearly 2 years already. Still favouring the Pod Go? Abso-bloody-lutely. Fabulous piece of kit, love it. I added the Celestion Pulse 10 IR's, and using the 4x10 model pack, can't recall which mic setup etc. but it sounds so much better than the pre-loaded Line6 cabs. Did some recording with it last year, really happy with the sounds that were captured.

We've had a spate of closures in town recently, the "major" music venue has been closed down and is going to be knocked down to make way for another hotel, the other venue, has been closed to make way for a hostel type hotel, which leaves 1 small venue to host bands that don't play Scottish "Trad" style music. Anyway, we played there last night, not having played there in a while. Played with 3 other bands, two of whom pulled in a decent crowd, and it was the opening bands first gig. We seemed to go down well, and had plenty of people complimenting the band after we'd played. Big grins all round.
