SansAmp Bass Driver DI V2 : Small box. Big bass.

This machine will turn your bass sound into the monster you want it to be. We found it really handy for a characterful sound without the trouble of transporting the substantial variety of amps it so successfully replaces. The robust build of the unit further enhances transportability as it stands up to gigging well. While you can tweak endlessly, enjoying the various ways it can make a bass guitar great, my wife settled for an impressive but dependable sound and doesn't change it except marginally for slight differences to accommodate one bass guitar or another. We were a little wary of spending what could buy us a decent small amp on a DI box but having had great results using it's electric guitar equivalent in the studio we took the plunge. For us it was a purchase worth making.
