[QUOTE="Rick Powell, post: 68661, member: 202"] Re: Bass Guitar Preamp +1 - the tone has to be 80% there in the first place. If there is great tone it should translate readily from a neutral DI box like the Radial J48 or Countryman 85. Boxes like the SansAmp Bass DI or Avalon U5 (which can be found used for your budget) are useful in providing some coloration to the signal if it needs an edge, but as a previous poster stated, sometimes those "tone box DI's" can mangle the sound rather than enhance it if the controls are not used judiciously. I used a homebuilt tube DI with a big iron transformer (that our sound guy built) years ago and it was my favorite bass DI ever.
