So I was thinking... I'm about to buy a bass, so I can record my own bass lines.
But I was wondering, would it work plugging a bass into a POD and then into the comp?

[Rockerbob]

Yes, it will work. Set the POD for a clean setting with perhaps a little compression and then EQ to your ear. I've done this many times with a POD Pro.

As Bob said adding compression will add punch, and if you find it a bit thin and 'boxy' a little EQ boost around 80 - 100hz will add body and a little cut between 200 - 250 hz will take out that 'boxy' vibe.

Line 6 makes a very nifty Bass pod... A frind bought one about a month ago, and it really rocks... especially for recording.

Compression will only add punch if you set the attack great enough to add the punch. If your attack times are too fast, you'll reduce punch. Then again, I'm not even sure what "punch" means when it comes to a bass.

I've recorded over 700 songs now and not once have I needed to boost the bass at 80Hz, for whatever that is worth.

Btw, my definition of "boxy" is more like 400-600Hz. But that's just a personal thing I guess.
