Cheers Kev [/quote] Have you a telephone that can record video, or even sound only..? Have you a budget in mind..? How will you want to listen back to these..? Have you a laptop, a PC, a Mac thingy..? So many questions... It's very, very simple, once we know what your circumstances and ambitions are. Pray tell...

PaulWarning Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 if you've got a lap top a way of doing it free is to use audacity and plug your bass into the mic socket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
