supabock Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Anyone used a SansAmp Bass Driver DI stomp box as a preamp for the piezo signal of an EUB to an amplifier? If so what do you think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I did.. it sucked the life and character out of the tone. IMO that's a characteristic of the Sansamp in general. In the end, I used a fairly inexpensive K&K pre. Worked a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodl2005 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I did & had similar results to W.O.T. above. But after a few more tries & got a pretty good tone outta it. Same for me with elec bass & the SABDDI... I used the VT bass pedal to great effect- LOVE it!! Then had chance to grab a prog.(3 chan.) SABDDI - & tried it with both EUB & elec bass. With BOTH instruments I didn't like it at 1st. But after a few tries I got pretty good results with the EUB & now I love it with the elec bass too. Tho I now use a Fishman Platinum + Pre amp/DI for EUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made sense of a lot of questions i have to say. Thanks for all your comments Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 And now there's a new kid on the block. Markbass Super Booster. Nice simple control layout and a great sound from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supabock Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Well the fishman is in full swing, unlike my playing at the moment Anyway sounds great so will keep up the not so good practice..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
