i wanna try to attach strobe and neon lights to my bass on my computer
somehow so that they light up when it hits a strong bass note, i know i
need some kinda of a sound/frequency/vibration sensor to detect the
beats, but i dont know what to do from there (like how/where to conect
everything), i have a fairly good and powerfull sound system on my
computer too. and i want to play around with the thing so i can set how
strong of a beat i want it to be to light up, i dont want the lights to
be constantly flashing and giving everyone seisures

Try l;ooking for "color organ" circuits. That was a 70s thing that was
the laser light show of it's time. They basically broke the music
spectrum down to 3 or 4 colors of light that lit with the beat.Some
were pretty simple affairs with crude pass filters. You just need the
low pass part.
Basically you hit an SCR or Triac with the stuff that makes it under
the low pass filter you choose.

so basicaly buy one, take it apart and use the peices?
