If I do this, it will only be at home to learn and add bass lines to recordings.

Why not ask TTR Forum Members that already have bass and recording rigs to act as session players and send you WAV files via Dropbox?

Yup, and this one is in NJ somewhere that JT might be able to do a local pickup.

I inherited my bass when my mate kicked the bucket 20 odd years ago. I try to abuse it in the same manner to which it had been accustomed.




Here's to you Steve.

$60.00 Craigslist Ibanez Bass strung with Ernie Ball .105's...used on all my recordings.

Thanks Robert, That Ibanez is just like the one I passed on when I got my first Fender Steve Harris P bass. The Ibanez was either a light blue or silvery color if I remember.

This is one similar to my first Harris Bass.

Adrian and Voxy have seen my 2nd Steve Harris bass.

Now that I think about it, the Ibanez basses were this color or Black I think,
