Are your counting out the character series cause I actually quite like those for guitar. I also vote for the rusty box done live shows with that thing and it works great.

The Aguilar Tone Hammer pedal will give you good results.

which fishman do u have? i've been looking at the platinum pro bass one maybe.
does it handle hot signals well? like could i get away w/ a synth/sampler (line level stuff) on it?
does it alter your sound? w/ everything flat (compressor off)?

Re: good DI's w/ atleast a 2band EQ that isn't SANSAMP?
Yeah the platinum pro bassl. I've never tested it with line level stuff, but it handles loud boosted bass signals fine. With the input gain down I reckon you could run line level signals through it ok.
It definitely sounds different with everything flat vs direct to amp (removes a bit of bass/low mid stuff and some of the high punch to my ears), but with minor EQ tweaking I can get the same sound. FWIW I totally prefer the tone I can get through my amp with a bit of EQing on the fishman to what I can get straight in, the flat thing might make more of a difference for synths and stuff, but equally the pedal might not affect the sound in the same way.

The truth has been spoken. No mid-scoop, dirt if you want it, XLR out, sounds amazing. Power supply might be an issue though, I think it needs its own 18V supply...can't remember from when I had mine.BassIsBad wrote:The Aguilar Tone Hammer pedal will give you good results.

Re: good DI's w/ atleast a 2band EQ that isn't SANSAMP?
so i ended up with this one:

1.) its got a funny name (LR Baggs)...everytime i see that i always think of that little hobbit bilbo baggs.
2.) the price was right ($75!)
3.) they seem to have a really good reputation (albeit in the acoustic guitar/upright bass world) but nonetheless, seems like a quality piece of gear.
4.) hits on almost every one of my needs.
hope it works out
