Thanks for the advice everyone. I am the proud new owner of an L-2000. :)

Another question for you guys. Since I'm in Japan, I'm planning on getting one of the made in Japan tributes (used). They sell them as Premium Tributes over here. Anyway, I came across a used tribute from the 1990s that is prior to the "premium" branding. It just says Made In Japan, Slim Neck...

Thanks for all the info everyone! Just what I wanted to hear!

Hi all, I'm a long time guitar player, and I'm thinking about picking up a bass (I briefly owned a P-bass that I played with flatwounds). I was wondering what you guys think of the G&L L-2000 for reggae/dub stuff. I'm tempted by this bass because it seems to have so many tonal options, and...

Does anyone have the Bass Cub? I too am considering this for a practice amp and I'd love to hear what people have to say about it. I've only found a couple of YouTube videos, so it's been hard to get an idea of the tone.

Thanks I'll check the 20xl. I didn't realize they updated the bass lineup.

Has anyone tried both of these? I'm looking for something small for practicing at home. I live in Japan, and need something that won't annoy my neighbors. I have a Sansamp DI and Guitar Rig 3 for recording, so this is mainly so I can just plug into something quickly and experiment with...

Are you referring to the amp modeling aspect?

Thanks for the input everyone! Based on the input here and what I've read, I think I'm going to go with the Para Driver DI. It just seems to do so much, and is something I will also be able to use with my guitar as well. Plus, when I decide to get an amp, as long as it's pretty neutral, I will...

Yeah. Guitar rig is pretty great. I have an Edirol M16DX digital mixer that I use as an audio interface, which allows me to use the NI software, but the instrument line ins are just OK. I'm hoping a quality DI with an XLR out will help improve things on that front. This is my first time...

Looks interesting, but I don't see it listed here in Japan. I'm afraid I'm going to have to go for one of the Sansamp products if I end up going the DI route.

Thanks for the input. Is the Para Driver DI a good choice? My buddy has the VT and loves it, but I can't help but think the Para Driver would be a better choice because of the XLR out. Also, since I play guitar it would also double as a good DI for that as well. Since I'm not looking to play...

Thanks. Are there any particular heads that you would suggest for what I'm looking to do?

Quick question for you guys: I just bought my first bass for home recording, and I'm trying to decide if I should get a small amp or just a DI box to go straight into my mixer/ recorder. I'm using a P-bass with flatwounds, and the projects I'm working on mainly involve old Jamaican dub and...
