I would go for the VT Bass DI.

The 40th Anniversary Precision I have plays better than most Fender's I've tried. When I bought it, my intention was to buy a CS but this blew them out the water. Great basses.

I can definitely back that statement. Fantastic basses.

60-120 is the minimum IMO.

How are you getting on with this @stewblack?

NOS Beta MkII.

My ampless setup is an Xotic Bass RC Booster into a Radial ProDI. I do have the BDI21 but have never used it live.

I'll never understand why people still 5h!t on the Chinese manufacturing process. Most of the electronics you use are now Chinese made. Sure, this is borderline copyright infringement but if you're a player just starting out or someone put off by vastly inflated prices, this is the 'Tone Hammer' for you. Look at the BDI21 - it has plenty of fans and is still being produced.

Let us know how you get on. The BDI21 is a decent pedal but I've never used the DI out in a live situation.

Does it take a 9V input? What frustrated me about the original was the 12v adapter required.

I believe the term is 'homage'.

What was in the bass before?

I would suggest a different pickup.
