So, my Ashdown just isn't working out for my solo playing. In fact, there's nothing I love more than plugging my bass straight into a good PA system, so every frequency my vampyre has to give reeeeally sings.
I was thinking about just buying an ART Pro Channel... and using it as an UBER DI box... it's not going to preshape my sound, tube preamp, tube compressor, and tube EQ section (lows, parametric low mids and hi mids with switchable Q settings, and highs) so I can shape my sound when I actually need to....
Sounds fantastic in theory, but someone suggested a Tubepath would probably be perfect for me... Sure that's likely to put a little more colour on my sound, but from what I've heard in the past, it's not likely to really put a blanket on my sound like the ABM does?
Anyway, either way I want to go, I want to be able to use what ever I get without a speaker cab if need be, but be able to use use a bass cab when I please. I know that with the ART channel strip, this will mean getting a power amp to go with it...
What do you all think? Any other ideas?
