Hi all,
I looked through the FAQs/Stickys but didn't find the answer to this question (well... maybe I missed it!).
I'm thinking of buying a bass (probably an SX jazz bass - seems like a good one for the money) for use in my amateur recording studio. Right now I use a synth/workstation for my bass (the Yamaha Motif) and figured a real bass would be a nice alternative.
So....to record this thing, I'm inclined to go direct as it seems this solution is a bit more useful than going direct for guitars. I both mic amps and go direct for guitars currently.
To record direct, do I need anything other than what I have now? I have
Preamps: Grace 101, RNP, Joe Meek MQ3
Guitar DI: POD XT
I've seen DI's such as POD Bass and Sansamp Bass made specifically for bass, but would I just be able to leverage my existing investment in preamps? Advantages/Disadvantages?
Thanks for any advice!!
