Alright I finally got off my ass and did some recording, I gotta warn you, I haven't been practicing enough and it don't sound pretty technically or recording-wise. And sorry about all the dead air at the beginning. Unfortunately audio hijacker that I used with garage band wouldn't let me record into wav format either.

No problem, they're recorded with a metronome at 120bps, if that helps. If your looking for anything specific let me know since I got the big bass and fishman pickup finally hooked up and here at my place. Since I'm using garage band it would be easy enough to make loops too, if I can just get my fuckin' intonation and rhythm back up to par.

120 beats per second :O hehe, there's some low freq feedback it sounds like, maybe its just how im listening to it, ill setup things differently and see if I still here it. How did you record it?

defintely some feedback, it sucks too cause thats some sweet strumming. Can you hear that on your side? Maybe I can cut that frequency out.

Lol, I suck at recording, I have a fishman bass pick up like this. http://www.elderly.com/new_instruments/items/FFCBP.htm Then I ran it through my amp and then into my computer through kind of shitty cord, I'll try some different settings tonight after work. I haven't worked with this stuff much since college, but now that everything's finally set up it'll be a little easier to monkey with. edit: wait this is actually the pickup I use http://www.soundexchange2.com/ProductImages/soundexchange2_1758_14855895.gif

So I woke up early this morning and was going to do some recording. I had a ridiculous idea, a version of billy jean done all on upright bass, I was ready to do 'er up too, and then after fiddling with the pickup I found that it's half broke.:( One of the two pizzo-electric sensor dillios on the thing is broke, wich would explain why I was getting a very unbalanced sound on the other recordings I was trying to do. However, this might be just the excuse I need to by the fishman full circle bomb-diggity uber pickup.

 I'm thinking the feed back was probably because the sensor dillio on the lower strings was the only one working, therefore in order to hear the higher strings I probably tried to balance out the volume by adjusting the treble and bass on the amp, thus causing a massive cluster fuck because the low ended up getting to much representation.
Anyways, it should be a non issue in about a week and a half, the fishman 'all around' bass pickups are supposed to be all but feed back proof. Either way I just found a reason to buy a toy I've been meaning to get for a while now. Even just running some scales with the bow today is making my intonation suck a little less, I think I might dive into this again.
