first bass build

Hey folks.  Thinking of building a CBG bass and I have a question or 2. Does it matter what kind of magnetic pickup I put in it?  I mean is there one specific for basses?  Also, does the 3 or 4…Continue

Oh oh, here we go again...(12 strings this time, mates!)

I have a bass on the drawing board, time and coin as I get it, will determine the finish date. I need to do allot of homework first.

I have just added a starter project as a discussion on the Musicians Wanted group.

The project contains only a metronome count-in plus a simple timekeeping drum track for a slow blues.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines!"

OK! Looks like Norm took the reins and started a discussion in his Musicians Wanted group. My idea was a stand alone group and a self explanatory name but GET TO WORK and get some collaborations going!!!

Ted wrote: My original idea was to start a new group called Recording Collaborative or something like that and each discussion would be a separate project.

Let me know if there's interest and I'll start the group, or if someone else wants to take the reins feel free to take charge.

Fergus, enjoyed seeing your bass in action!

Ok, tonight I will download it and get started (my days off)...

Ted, I've got Audacity. I used it on my last cd on one track. It's great, though I'm still figuring it out! Ah, the ongoing process. Oh well, back to the lab...
Comment by Tres Seaver on September 19, 2009 at 6:15pm
Ted, I'm up for the "collaboration" group -- I did a little similar stuff on http://kompoz.com/ a while back.

Audacity is my preferred recording tool, too!
Comment by Ted Crocker on September 19, 2009 at 8:58am
Henry, we actually tried this a few months back. I think it was Christian Beshore & Denys Lord who did the first experiments. I believe Christian recorded a track in Audacity, posted it in a Forum discussion and Denys downloaded it, opened it in Audacity, added his track and posted it back in the discussion.

Audacity is a free download, compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux and is full featured. It can be downloaded here.

My original idea was to start a new group called Recording Collaborative or something like that and each discussion would be a separate project.

Let me know if there's interest and I'll start the group, or if someone else wants to take the reins feel free to take charge.

Good luck, I look forward to the results,

Ted
