I know we are always going to get conflicting answers here on Basschat because we all have different experiences. Personally I would get a more powerful amp first to allow for more clean headroom. Then I would add another duplicate speaker. Never mix and match, always use the same speaker to match sound and technical specifications. Please don't have go... It's only my personal opinion. 🤠

As others have said it is personal preference based on many factors such as neck relief, playing style and string choice just to name a few. My personal choice at the 12th fret.... B. 2.5mm E, A, D, G. 2mm

Just found this on YouTube. I'm a big GR fan so can't wait to see the reviews when they appear. https://youtu.be/iTPsV2BfsoE?si=VNiLZa2YyZL6zEq4

Sonic Farm 2DI4 Tube Direct Box. £499 including UK postage. 2DI4, now in upgraded Mk.II version, is a dream come true for bass players, as well as guitarists who record direct and use an amp simultaneously. It can also be used to yield character to any string instrument with a pickup (like pedal steel!), to make keyboards sound warmer, even to improve the sound of music players. And because it has both line and mic level balanced outputs, which can be used at the same time, it can drive a variety of inputs. As with the Creamer, a single pentode is the only gain stage. The high and low frequency boost circuits use high quality capacitors and inductors to impart fatness or top end to your signal in a very musical way. A buffered “thru” output enables a long cable connection with your amp, without a high end roll-off. A special DI transformer brings the output down to mic level, to drive consoles. A balanced line level output is also there for direct recording. We think this is the absolute state of the art in direct boxes. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: * Single channel * Design concept: (tube) pentode hybrid preamp * 2 tube modes: triode and pentode * Frequency response: 10Hz-50kHz +/-3dB * Maximum gain: 54dB at the line output, 32dB at the DI (mic level) output * Harmonic distortion: <2% before clipping level, quickly decreases if driven less. * Maximum line output level: 30dBu * Minimum output load: 600Ohms * Connectors: XLR DI and line output, balanced only * Instrument input: 1/4” unbalanced, mono * Input impedance: 2.2MOhm * Amp: 1/4” unbalanced, mono, buffered * Power consumption: 15W * Operating voltage: 110-120VAC or 220-240VAC, switchable * All supply voltages regulated. * 285V Plate voltage for huge headroom * Gold plated printed circuit boards with a double copper layer. * Gold plated tube socket Comes complete with the original box, unused mains cable, instruction booklet and spare valve. The Di is only 11 months old and in perfect condition.

I noticed the drive decals too. What a stupid design putting them in different positions and having to label them in orange so we can find them. 🤯

It's a fantastic bass. Light weight and easy to play. I found it is built to the price point ( £1000 ) so has a few cosmetic flaws in the paint and frets. I sold it with in a few weeks when I discovered Serek basses.

Quite right. The GR Bass rig is 700w, the Ashdown 100w. I like my sound clean so the Ashdown is only used at sub break up levels from the power tubes. It's warm and fat.

Two rigs now.... On the left we have my gig / loud rig. On the right we have my home / quiet rig.
