USB port suited for bass?

[basswarrior66]

I am hoping to do some recording straight to PC using the Audacity software.
This is just an experiment at the moment so i dont want to be spending too much money initially.
I need a USB port/cable which will work with bass.
I have seen the AxePort Pro which looks ideal but i think i should experiment with something less expensive first, just in case i do not get to grips with PC recording.
Behringer have a product called UCG102, but i am not convinced this is for bass as all the spec seems to be related to guitar amp software plug ins. Alesis make a USB cable but again not sure of its compatibility with bass.
Does anyone know of any other reasonable priced products suitable for bass?

The Behringer UCG102 is essentially a USB audio interface, and should work perfectly well with bass.

But if you're worried about it you could try [url="http://www.imuso.co.uk/Studio/Processing/Audio-MIDI-Interfaces/13983-/Alesis-GuitarLink-USB-Guitar-Bass-Audio-Interface-Cable"]this[/url].

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works, but I think you'll have latency issues using a USB device with Audacity on a PC, as PC's don't support hardware playthrough. Or something. I am willing to be corrected though, as I will then be able to use my Alesis lead for something other than blind recording.
