i just bought a Sansamp, and i REALLY REALLY like it. you can get a variety of sweet tones out of it. got it for a steal at the guitar center in overland park, kansas. let the guys know you're on tour and they will give you one dirt cheap!
my current rig is all ampeg (b2re head and a 6x10) and i'm getting tired of it. i got it all for free because my band's old bass player abandoned ship and left it all at our practice space. i suppose it's good for getting it free? i just can't get a good heavier tone out of it. i bought a boss...
