For me, all I will be using on the road is a couple of basses and a small pedalboard, no amp required whatsoever (thanks to the amazing wonder of a DI!), so keeping it within my sight at all times is pretty simple.
How did you get on with your DI was info I sent ok.What DIi you currently using Kels
Hey KB, for my last gig I went through the house DI for simplicity, but I am about to drop a few hundred bucks on a very small (but essential!) pedalboard with this puppy on the end http://www.basscentre.com.au/collect...di-floor-pedal
Yeah the info did help for my current DI (which is just a simple active DI, nothing too special here), cheers KB!
Hey Kels do you do a lot of slap bass,cause the Eden for slap players is stunning.
Others that if you talk to Guy at the Bass centre to give a try too depending on style of bass you play. The Tech21 Sansamp VT Bass and VT Bass Deluxe both stunning. My current Bass Di and pre amp is SansAmp Bass Driver Programmable. Always thinking of our fat-stringed brethren, we had to make a 3-channel, programmable, rig-in-a-box for bassists who can’t get enough of a great thing. Like the TRI-A.C. for guitar, you get three hot tones right at your toetips. The all-analog circuitry features the same controls as its single channel predecessor: Drive, Bass, Treble, Presence, Blend and Level. Digital only in its programmability, you just tweak the knobs until you find a tone, double-tap on a footswitch, and it’s saved in that channel. It’s that simple. Three of your faves -- to go! Good luck have fun

Yeah KB I'd love a Sansamp but the budget does not allow, so the Eden will have to do for now...
Hey Kels , get something that you love the sound of. If it gives the tones you love ,that's all that matters
Well to be honest, the Eden does get me pretty close to what I want which for me is kinda inbetween Mark Hoppus and Mike Dirnt's tones, I like to cut the bass a small bit, boost 2-2.2khz a little and boost the treble to about 2o'clock and with the compressor it really tightens it all up, so for now it will really get me close to what I want!
Kels go for it put something me demos up with the he new rig
Good luck
