Been looking to try out a SansAmp Bass Driver DI for a while now as from what I've heard and seen they're pretty awesome! But while I'm still looking I wondered if anybody knew of any other, perhaps cheaper alternatives? Cheers guys

I recently bought a 2nd hand (but perfect condition) Ernie Ball MusicMan Stingray (NOT Sterling) for £700! Sunburst body, black pickguard, maple fingerboard, 2EQ and like I said mint condition. Basically my perfect bass for a stupid price. Couldn't believe it! If you just look around you can get the real deal for perhaps less than a Sterling.

Haha I just don't really have one particular style I play. I play a MusicMan Stingray if that helps at all, I like a bright sound. Well I could spend more if I saved, I just don't particularly want to as it would only be for like I said, small gigs, practising etc as I'll be busy with Uni stuff. Cheers for the recommendations I'll check them out!

Thanks a lot for the help I'll look into it!

It's not like a set in stone rule or anything though [/quote] Well at the moment I'm borrowing a Marshall 4x10 combo for gigs, but I'm planning on buying my friends Ashdown EB180 head, and just need a small cab to use for smallish gigs. A 4x10 might be a bit big, and awkward to carry up and down stairs to my uni accomodation in the autumn, so I was looking into 2x10s instead

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1195297' date='Apr 11 2011, 02:09 AM']Budget? What head are you using? What style do you play? There's quite a lot of 210s out there. [/quote] Budget.. Maybe under £400/500 really. I don't really play one particular style to be honest. Haha. I just wanted to see if anyone had any particular recommendations.

Looking to buy a 2x10 cab. Perhaps Ashdown? Not particularly experienced with cabs so any offers/advice welcome Cheers

Thanks a lot for the help guys

Basically I'm thinking of buying a Fender Precision. I preferably wanted it to be sunburst, with a maple fingerboard and a tortoiseshell pickguard. I found one, Standard American(below, but with maple fingerboard) but it's a bit out of my price range. I found another, 50's style (below) but it has that anodised pickguard, so I figured, why not just buy it and replace the guard with one like in the first link. Here's the problem. The Standard american has a 13 hole pickguard, which seems to be all I can find for sale, while the 50's style has a 10 hole pickguard. I guess I could drill holes but I also have no idea if they're even the same size!! I've tried looking into it and visited my local shop today but they weren't much help. Anyone here know if the size of the 2 pickguards will roughly be the same? I don't mind drilling holes if the guards will be the same size. Thanks a lot

Yeah, I was planning on buying the Tech 21 Bass Driver DI. And no the amp doesnt have a Line Out I don't think. It literally just had: Inputs, Speaker outputs on the back and a preamp output on the front.

I have an old Peavey Bass Combo, Mark III Series, Series 260C, and it has no DI output. I've always been told DIing at live shows is best, and I borrowed a friends amp for a recent gig to use the DI, but wondered if I could still use my Peavey despite no DI output being available? Would miking it up be suitable? Sorry if this is a stupid question I've tried to find information on this topic of having no DI present but can't find anything useful Thanks.
