Latest build

thanks for the tip yvarg, i was planning on going to Venn to really build up my skills, now i am deffinetly going. if you dont mind me asking, or if the forum guys dont mind, might i ask how much it was to go, and how long the course was? thanks
 
I don't have any samples of the bass because I couldn't plug directly into Garageband without it overdriving all the time. I could try going through a few different things again to see if I can make it work later today.

The lower bout is 13.5 inches (34.3 cm) wide, the waist is 9.25 inches (23.5 cm) wide, and the length running down the middle (from where the neck (not fingerboard) meets the body to the strap button) is 13.25 inches long (33.7 cm). If you have photoshop I could send you a full scale rendering that you could print out.
 
Alright, I finally found a decent way (and time!) to record a few clips of the bass:

Order of the different segments are: Both pickups on full, neck pickup only, bridge pickup only, futzing around with tremolo. Sloppy playing aside, that should give you a general idea of how the bass sounds.

Also, for those curious, the signal chain is: bass -> Warwick Pro FET 5.2 head (EQ set flat) -> 1/4" to 1/8" cable adapter -> 1/8" to USB adapter -> Garageband.

Enjoy
