Tascam MD 350
OK, the back-ordered Tascam unit arrived a week ago, as did a batch of 40 blank MDs (Sony @$1.50 each incl. shipping) and a 2-space rack gigbag ($50).
I've made several recordings of bass+effects live to 2-track. So far so good! I haven't yet transferred them to CD via optical output, but have confirmed that all else with the Tascam works great. It's very, very easy to do on-the-fly recording and editing. The sound by digital standards is very good.
Bottom line: So long as there is a way to transfer MD to Cubase, Garage Band, or one of the other recording softwares at some point for further editing/overdubs, then I believe this will turn out to be an outstanding recording medium for capturing basic ideas and samples. But I have no clue how to make such transfers digitally. . . .
