I do the same. The majority of the bass is on my chest when I play.

You can fit another one or two jazz pickups in easy. :p

Link Removed Right = £50 eBay P-Bass (32" scale) which I defretted. Left = Aslin Dane P-Copy with DiMarzio Split P's + Series/Parallel switch.

I've heard several reasons for Sound techies not using the D.I. of amps for the D.I. feed whilst searching about and the main one is Phantom Power (it seems). Today I heard about one whilst at college about the bass amp leaving "sub bass frequencies" in the signal which can cause the P.A. Subs...
