EUB Piezo and SansAmp Bass Driver DI

[supabock]

Anyone used a SansAmp Bass Driver DI stomp box as a preamp for the piezo signal of an EUB to an amplifier? If so what do you think??

I did.. it sucked the life and character out of the tone. IMO that's a characteristic of the Sansamp in general.

In the end, I used a fairly inexpensive K&K pre. Worked a treat.

I did & had similar results to W.O.T. above. But after a few more tries & got a pretty good tone outta it. Same for me with elec bass & the SABDDI... I used the VT bass pedal to great effect- LOVE it!! Then had chance to grab a prog.(3 chan.) SABDDI - & tried it with both EUB & elec bass. With BOTH instruments I didn't like it at 1st. But after a few tries I got pretty good results with the EUB & now I love it with the elec bass too. Tho I now use a Fishman Platinum + Pre amp/DI for EUB

Thanks for that, I have just ordered, well yesterday ordered the Fishman Plat Pro Bass EQ/DI for my EUB as it seemed to be the favourite and most widely used preamp. Made sense of a lot of questions i have to say. Thanks for all your comments

And now there's a new kid on the block. Markbass Super Booster. Nice simple control layout and a great sound from it.

Well the fishman is in full swing, unlike my playing at the moment Anyway sounds great so will keep up the not so good practice.....
