SamPlaysBass Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I’ve joined a new project which is firmly in the soul-rock subdivision. Great people as well, but a little different to my disco-funk background. I’ve switched up my gear a bit after a little studio trip, trying to get a better sound. I’ve put flats and a foam mute on my 70s Squier P bass and I’ve got a Wayne Jones Audio set up with his powered cabs. It sounds great, but it’s very clean. I’ve been hunting for a SansAmp but I’ve missed out on a few (one to the now notorious ScamsAmp scandal of Christmas 2020). They are rock solid in pricing, straying well north of the £105 I sold my old one for. I’ve got a Behringer BDI but it isn’t quite as good. I want something that’s warm and vintagey. I’m not looking for Darkglass distortion, I’m trying to get that tubby, rolled off Pino in John Mayer Trio or Duck Dunn vibe. It’d be great to have a DI that I can whack on my pedalboard and make festivals (remember them?) easier and less complicated, as well as warm up my studio monitor style gigging set up. So, warm and vintage valve-y DI for somewhere around the price of a second hand SansAmp (bonus points for cheaper) that’s not the Behringer version?

jrixn1 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Dr J Sparrow; or a MojoMojo + any passive DI box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 +1 on the Mojomojo. Far better choice than any of the Sansamp lineup for a Motown kind of sound. Better than anything else I've tried in fact, which is er, most pedals out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamPlaysBass Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Strange you say that, I’ve got a Mojomojo on my board that I haven’t used forever! Cheers guys, I’ll definitely get on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnt Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) I was going to mention the Behringer BDI, but can see you've been there and done that. I just took a look at Thomann, out of interest, and can see that they have the Eden Module TerraNova at a very interesting price. I don't know much about it, though, except to note that Eden is now owned by Marshall. PS: found this thread with some not-so-good reviews Edited January 21, 2021 by bnt typos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been sorely tempted to see how close it gets to the "real thing" and if I didn't actually have the real thing in the form a VTDI and no space on my board, I would have bitten your hand off... Which wouldn't have been helpful for your bass playing. Edited January 21, 2021 by Al Krow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
