Looked at lots of lightweight gear, Bought one of these from Bass Gear to go with my LB70P. Tried it out with a recording session late last night, What a sound, it made an old Aria sound just like an old school Gibson short scale with ease, Used DI out on a indi folk track (not what its going to be used for) not really my scene but the audio was perfect. Very pleased, I think people should look around and try something a little different. This can do the whole range from Ampeg to Trace, I should know ive used the lot over the years.
