I’ve had more playing time yesterday and today (after getting some actual sleep) and am really enjoying it.

So after two hours of playing with backing tracks this morning it is a keeper. For the first time in ages I actually had goose bumps and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

The sound is so amp like through my iem and standard headphones it was a revolutionary.

I went back to just using my AEA active DI and small eq changes on the mixer and the sound collapsed. Yes it became more bass heavy and brighter but I was lost in the mix.

On its own the Fifteen sounds a little dull and very mid forward. But in a mix it stands out and really feels like you are playing through an amp.

I've finally found a preamp / Di that I can use on every occasion. 

 

Moving on from this morning I've used the 1/4 inch amp out straight into my Ashdown ABM / 4x10 with no EQ, valve drive or sub harmonics turned on. 

With the settings shown below it sounds almost the same as the Di out going into the PA.

This feature is great as I can duplicate the Di sound into any back line amp.

Andertons price is £449 which is inline with the other Bassrigs.

 

Am I right in thinking that if I wanted to have drive, I would have to stop playing, turn the drive dial to suit and then start playing again? There is no way to play with a clean tone and then kick in the drive to switch to a dirty tone on the fly?

 

That's a really useful point, thanks Linus! So essentially we can go from bypass --> clean or dirty B15 tone, depending on what you have the pedal set on. Tbf I guess that's exactly what you would have to do if owned the amp?

 

Some great bass tones from this - particularly liked what IMA was producing - that Retro Rock! Ooof! 

 

Question: how much different / better than a Sansamp VT Bass DI, is this?
