It does work with a electric bass? I don't need a professional quality, just home recording...

It works just as well with bass, yes. I use exactly the same setup for guitar as bass, I just change the VST settings in Guitar Rig between bass and electric guitars. Hope that answers your question.

It should work OK. However I experienced latency problems with GarageBand on my iMac.Not sure if this would happen with other software or platforms.

You will need something with XLR inputs, either a camera or a digital field recorder. I use a Tascam DR-40. It will also need phantom power, which means it needs to be powered by whatever it is plugged into.

It will work with any amplifiable guitar. Just realize that it only puts out 30 watts-- enough to make your bass audible at what's now called an "unplugged" level. What that means to me, as I use it, is that I can hear the bass line in a group with acoustic (unamplified) guitars. It will never be "loud," if that's what you're looking for.

I've used compressors in many recordings. They generally work quite well for guitar or bass. Although I haven't played bass with this MXR it should work very well especially because the MXR is one of the better ones. Compression is the same process whether live or recorded, guitar, bass or vocals. If you're still unsure, a quality sales outlet will let you return it if it's not doing what you want it to do, whether it's voice, music, guitar OR bass. But I do think you'll like it.

The tuner has a mic input, so u can tune an acoustic instrument. Never tried an acoustic bass, but I would assume it should work.

I plug mine into a mixer or an amplifier and the bass has plenty punch to it. I will have to check it with just headphones.

If you are expecting any kind of real bass feel, this amp won't give it to you. I would rather spend the money on a bass-buddy, it's like a little personal guitar amp. It clips to your belt and you plug your guitar in and then slip on the headphones. For the bass, it gives you several bass setups like 'slap' or 'fretless' . If you don't want to use headphones, run the headphone jack from the bass buddy into a stereo input and you'll find a better sound.

Hi there...yep, it will do the trick, but nothing better than the real thing. After you record the part you can do some eq with your DAW and it will do.

I dont think it would be good for bass. I would look into something with more wattage or a amp that is made for bass playing.

I would think, from my view and experience, that it would work fine for busking....hope it works as well for you as it has for me. One band I play in has a member that plays bass and guitar alternately though the amp while at an outside pub (which requires a bit of punch by itself) but this is vacation land at the outside patrons are a bit noisy and it seems to work fine. Don't know that I'd trust it to work where the crowd was larger or noisier. I wish I could give you a better gauge...but that's about as good as I can come to telling you from personal use how it's worked.

If you wish to record your bass into the computer, you will likely need some sort of DAW (digital audo workstation) or other software that will record. I assume you plan to plug this into a mic jack. Typically, you need a Firewire unit to have instrument signals communicate with a computer. (i.e. Presonus Firewire audio box see: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AudioBoxUSB/) This allows you to interface an instrument with a computer.

I would imagine so. The bass guitar using the same connectivity as a guitar. I can't vouch for the sound. It's limited if you're looking for a "big" sound, but it works for small area.

Absolutely. For what it's worth: when working out specific bass lines, it helps to slow the recording down until you've played it accurately. Then, gradually work up to normal tempo. Most important piece of equipment I own (other than my bass!).

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

yes, but a small one. It is much more than an amp. useful for smaller settings. Lots of power for its size. Reasonable bass sound, but not full amp. It is very versatile and I use it when my wife does a small room performance and plugs in electric piano and microphone.

It's no software it jus plug in play... If you need software to record with download REAPER or Sony Acid Pro they work great and they both have free trials so you can test and see which fit you best

Hello James, I have not tried it with a bass but see no reason that it would not work, it will. Keep in mind though that the low rich tones you would expect from a larger amp won't be there. It will be audible and it will have plenty of volume. Hope this helps you out a bit. You might check YouTube, search for HoneyTone Amp. You might find your answer for sure there! Good Luck! Dennis
