"Hi, Taffy! I’ve used a couple bass DI boxes to record albums and do live shows - mostly a Tech21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI and also the Ampeg SCR-DI pedal. The advantage of the Ampeg is it has an Aux input to use an iPad to play along with tracks…"

Most places I play are either dive bars or small restaurants so I’m really rethinking the need for a sound system.
