OnStage DB500

A tech 21 employee told me that the original Bass DI with controls inside is the rarest model of SansAmp ever made. Treasure it!

Try to run them both in parallel.

Dumble actually built some bass amps, and they are even more rare than the guitar ones. In fact I think Dumble’s first amp ever was a bass amp.

Baby got back

An epiphone EB0 from the early 2000s. I almost never play it.
