NoirBass Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I have a residency at a couple of different venues at the moment. I always travel on the tube to get to them. One gig in particular I do a lot, and so rather than lugging a bass around with me I leave one at the venue. Its only a cheap SX P bass, but it does the job. Being really lazy I'd like a cheap DI to leave there with a couple of leads so I can leave everything I need in one place. So I'm looking for recommendations, requirements are: 1/Must have gain, output volume and some EQ control. 2/Must be powerable by 48v phantom power. 3/Must have XLR out 4/Must be cheap, preferably less than £65, just incase it does go missing! Cheers in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorris Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Depending on the tone you need the a BDI21 might be just the thing. But you don't get 'comprehensive' EQ. Are you going just to FOH / Monitors or using an amp setup too ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Will the Dr J sparrow run off Phantom? A second-hand MXR M80 certainly will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Nearly half as much again at £90 delivered but the Harley Benton Bass Expander does all you seek. I posted about it couple of weeks back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 you really CAN'T carry a better DI on the tube with you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just looking for options or something I might not have thought of. If I can leave everything I need in my bass gig bag at the venue it'll save me worrying about having forgotten something. I'm also wanting to let other bassists who play down there use the bass and DI. Edited July 13, 2017 by NoirBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 As it happens I've the Dr J too,sadly don't think it runs on phantom power. The Hartke Bass Attack does,should get one for £40 second hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
