I always use the pre EQ option when DI'ing from my amp so I'm not super fussed about getting something with controls - my Sandberg already has plenty of tonal options on tap.
I have an MXR M80 that is only used as an emergency DI for gigs.
Would there be any advantage to getting a Radial / Countryman to use instead?
95% of gigs I play is Sandberg > Polytune > Markbass combo.
I'm not after a Fender. I don't care where it's made.
Ironically, I did go for a Japanese built bass that I believe is light years ahead of Fender QC - Bacchus.
