Any simple way or cable i can get to hook up my bass guitar to my PC?
I currently own: My bass (Fender Squire) A fender cabinet amp An effects pedal (will get brand if needed) Two 20 foot cables. Any cable that would just go from the effects or the bass into the LineIn on PC? or do i need a soundboard or something to that degree I have my Windows PC with stock software, and a mac laptop i could do this on, but the laptop does not have a line in so id need something USB or FireWire for that -------------------- A British company is developing small computer chips that can store music
in women's breasts. This is considered a major breakthrough since women complain about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them. |

^^ Is correct... but I found the easiest way is to go direct from pedal to soundcard.
You'll just miss out on the natural sound of the fender amp. I tack a jack converter to one end of a standard guitar cable into the sound card, and the other end simply goes to the line out port of my GT-6 (assuming your pedal has one, if not, some people get away with using the headphone output). Ideally if you have a mic lying around, throw that into the sound card and put it in front of the amp. Let us know how you go ;) -------------------- Rushed, outdated, but nevertheless... www.olisansom.com
