I will soon be doing some home recording with a guitarist friend, so i need to buy a DI box. I want to keep it simple, i am happy with the tone from my bass without the need for added eq etc, so i need some suggestions for a good DI unit to do the job. My bass is passive, so from what i have read online that means i need an active DI. I have looked at the Radial J48, but that does not work off batteries, and we are recording direct into my friends recording console and not through a mixing desk. I have also looked at a few Di units from BBE sounds which look ok. I know the Sansamp bass driver is pretty much most peoples favourite, but it just looks too busy for me! Any suggestions?

Love the magazine. Any idea when the ipod version will be available?

SOLD

[quote name='basswarrior66' post='1374949' date='Sep 15 2011, 10:13 PM']This Markbass Micromark is less than 6 months old. I bought it new in April this year to use as a home practice/recording amp as i had given up on the gigging side of things.

However i have now been persuaded to join a band again, and so need something larger for a full band rehersal and possible future gigs.

The sound and volume produced from this amp are amazing given its size, and as a recording amp it sounds as good as anything i have heard.

The amp will be supplied with a free padded protective cover.

Current retail price is around £430. I have it listed on ebay for £330 + £10 postage. Will consider any serious offers.

I kept the amp in the hope that i would eventually get back to gigging again soon, and would buy a lightweight speaker cab when the time came. However, i am still some way off fully recovered so it seems pointless keeping the amp any longer as it has now not been used for over 4 months. The amp was bought new in January this year, the ebay link is,

[quote name='basswarrior66' post='946014' date='Sep 5 2010, 11:36 AM']Bought new approx 8 months ago, hardly used, selling due to no longer able to gig so setting up pc based home studio.

Not sure how i managed to get two photos on there, but to save any confusion, there is only one amp for sale!

I am hoping to do some recording straight to PC using the Audacity software.
This is just an experiment at the moment so i dont want to be spending too much money initially.
I need a USB port/cable which will work with bass.
I have seen the AxePort Pro which looks ideal but i think i should experiment with something less expensive first, just in case i do not get to grips with PC recording.
Behringer have a product called UCG102, but i am not convinced this is for bass as all the spec seems to be related to guitar amp software plug ins. Alesis make a USB cable but again not sure of its compatibility with bass.
Does anyone know of any other reasonable priced products suitable for bass?

I have just bought a small PA speaker to use for home practice with my Ampeg Micro VR amp. I notice there are 2 speakon inserts on the back of the speaker, i am not sure if one is an input and the other an output for linking another speaker or if they are both inputs? My amp has 2 8ohm outs, there seems to be no difference in the speaker volume if i use one or both connections. The manual is not very informative and as i have previously only used a combo i am not familiar with using speaker connections. I realise that this is a PA speaker and not a specific bass cabinet but not sure if there is a difference between the two regarding how they connect to an amp.

I think it was me who sold it to you on evilbay, and how i regret it. I was desperate to raise some money at the time to buy a new amp, now my band has broke up and i have been searching desperately for another of these units, thats how i noticed this post when i did a google search. I love the fact that the controls are all inside the unit so once you have found a setting you like there is not so much temptation to mess with it.
The sheet i sent with it was something the Tech 21 support team sent me when i enquired about a manual for it, i too was puzzeled by the phontom power info, i assumed it was becouse i was not using it with a suitable mixing console.
If you ever decide to sell it, please get in touch.

I am wanting to do some basic home recording of my bass playing into a Tascam portastudio.
I am undecided what to use between my bass and the Tascam. My shortlist is,
Sansamp bass driver DI,
Sansamp VT bass,
Line 6 floor pod.
Does anyone have any advice as to which of the above would be best.
Thanks.

Hi and welcome from a fellow newbie.
What part of Canada are you from? I have family in Hamilton, Ontario and have seen some great live music in the Hess Village area of Hamilton when over to visit.

I play in a new rock/indie covers band "Rulers Of Tomorrow" and we are looking for support gigs. I am Barnoldswick based, rest of band are Bradford area.
www.myspace.com/rulersoftomorrow

Hi, i finally got some time to introduce myself on here.
I have been playing for around 6 years, unfortunatly i can not honestly remember why i chose bass, i wish i could say its becouse of hearing a certain bassline or something similar, but whatever it was that led me to play bass i have no regrets and have made friends with some great people in recent years.
My bass hero is Billy Sheehan, whose playing i first came across on Dave Lee Roths "Eat em and Smile" album. I have been privaliged to meet Billy several times over the last few years and must say he is a great ambasador for bass playing, always generous with his time and willing to answer any questions.
I play in a Bradford based Rock/Grunge/Indie covers band called "Rulers Of Tomorrow". We have played a few small gigs, including some support slots for the number 1 Thin Lizzy tribute band "Limehouse Lizzy".
We are now looking for more gigs as a support band (we only have about 50mins of material rehersed) so if anyone out there plays in a band and need a support act please get in touch.

I got the Micro VR head early this year and recently gigged with it at a 200 person capacity venue with no problems.
I could not afford the matching cab so i am playing through a Laney 4x10 cab.
As a relative novice i also love the simplicty of the control panel, bass, mid and treble. Its so easy with just those options to find a sound you like without spending hours/days/weeks twiddeling around with too many control knobs.
