Built-in DI vs External DI?

I always ask for the PA lead for the bass and plug it in my amp DI (an LM3). I usually have the post EQ button depressed and particularly if playing Fretless. At least then the sound person will get 'my sound' to amplify.

Otherwise you run the risk of having a generic sound, possibly to fit say, a Precision (almost invariably scooped mids) - the last thing you want playing Fretless. 

I usually give them 50% volume on the PA output from the amp (yes MB have a volume control on the output). 

It has always produced excellent results for me and sound guys have been more than happy.
