I believe anyone is able to create the new thread. I haven't done it because I didn't want to step on any feet

Oh yea, they can. I did it a couple of times. The mods have the power to close when opening a new one though.

Congratulations on you first Spector and Bass! Welcome! as for recommendations for bass playing techniques/theory go to Amzon.com, online books for basses. There's instructional books for everyone there. I have and others here in our Spector family bought the bass book, "Bass Aerobics", and highly recommend it. Beginners to Pros. Good luck and always feel free to ask any and all questions bass or Spector related here.

Thanks Donny!

I think I'm starting to get better at recording myself- this one only took 2 takes. Now to figure out how to upload stuff with higher picture quality...

You make that legend sound great!

You'd be better off getting a proper interface (the Line 6 UX1 is cheap and great for example) and doing it properly from the start

Great cover, man. I've never heard that on Bleach, but it's quite fitting lol.

Can you explain to me how you recorded yourself for YouTube though? I have an interface and know how to record my audio, but I don't know how to get the video to record with me wqhile I play a cover over a song...

Thanks for the warm welcome to the Spector Club lol.
The Spector actually isn't my first bass though. I have a 4string Warwick Corvette that was gracious enough to be a great starter bass for me. I AM, however, new to theory and technique, and I WILL be looking up the Bass Aerobics book you so kindly suggested.

I'll try to see about uploading a pic of them both on here in the near future.
Thanks again

Thanks for the kind words all!
As for how I record, I do it using iMovie and garageband. I set up a garage band movie file and put the song I'm covering in there. Then I open a real instrument track and set it up to record my bass through my audio interface (m audio fasttrack) and I add effects to get the tone I'm going for. (In this case, an amp sim and a compressor). Then I open up iMovie and set it to record with my laptop's webcam. Once it's recording I go back to garageband and hit record. This way my playing is synced with the song. When I'm done I save the movie file, cut out the unnecessary bits at the start and end, then quit iMovie. Then I save the garageband file, close it, and re-open it so that the movie I recorded appears in the media browser column. Then I load the movie in, sync it's audio with the garageband audio, then I mute the audio from the movie so all you hear is the garageband. Then I export it and upload it.
