[QUOTE="Rich Syder, post: 215464, member: 14959"] I think it's the typical way things go on message boards, one bassist had a sound engineer (trying to break the habit of saying "guy") suggest a DI and they get offended, hence, all FOH sucks. They can be grumpy a lot of times. My personal approach is that I've cut out most of the pedals that I used to use. I still have a compressor, but it's more of the tone enhancement type even though bass will be compressed at the board. And probably high passed. I tend to used passive basses, because cutting treble isn't going to affect what is hitting the board. If I am using active, I try not to knob twist much. The goal is to not suddenly send an extra 15db of bass. I have a killer DI, a Noble Tube DI that has a fixed volume to house, the volume knob on the DI just affects the 1/4" out that may be going to an amp on stage that I use for monitoring, depending on the situation. Anyways, my intent is to make it easy, set and forget for the rest of the gig. Nobody notices the bass player. Heh. [/QUOTE]
