Anyone ever try the SansAmp Bass Driver DI?
« on: June 16, 2010, 01:29:26 AM »
Has anyone ever try the SansAmp Bass Driver DI on the Ashbory?  It's been very popular for standard electric basses.

there should be a brand new ashbory on my doorstep tomorrow!  I use the sansamp para driver di (which replaces the bass driver's presence knob with a mid sweep control)

on my regular p bass the sansamp can be quite the combination safe - the mid and drive controls interact a lot... but the overall tone is velvety and often too subby. the drive can get transistory but there is a sweet spot at about 2 or 3 where is soaks up the transients nice and evenly. it's a good tool to get a fat tone with dodgy backline, but it reduces dynamics a bit too much for me...

it will get a full workout don't worry. give me a week or so to get the feel of the ash and i'll post some samples =)  feel free to bump this thread to remind me!  cheers
