I stayed GUEST so you'd know it was still me, Becky, sorry if I offended;-) I am just replying to Darowyn's very, very,misleading post--Mitch the Bass pointed out that he is wrong about the tuning, he is likewise wrong about the effects--electric bass is much easier to record than acoustic bass-in fact part of the reason that the original Fender P-Bass became popular was because it recorded so well.
