Hello,

Try this for size:

Plug up bass, pedals, everything except the amp. The lead that connects you fx/bass to your amp attach onto this a jack to mini-jack (3.5mm) adapter. Then plug this into the mic/line in on your PC soundcard, it doesn't have bad record quality if your using relatively good software. I use Sound Forge to record, edit etc, because it saves in MP3 and it was free.

Just to let you know this method isn't by any means the "best" way to record to your computer it's just what I do if I want to record it and listen to it back.

I do apologise if this sounds rude, I don't know how much you know about recording in general so I thought i'd write it like that just in case.

Hope that helps

Thanks.

is 3.5mm the same as 1/16"? and i dont quite understand what u mean by "plug up bass" do you mean "plug the bass"
