    Simple preamp for fretless?

    I don't know if this is what you need, but I recently added a fretless Jazz to my arsenal and am considering the Seymour Duncan Studio Bass Compressor.

    do you play the bass up high or down low

    Small Combo with DI?

    I've been using a Rumble 100 for about 4 months. It's great for home use and small room reversal. The light weight is amazing for grab & go. But I also find the tone lacking and the DI less-than-awesome. Ideally, I would suggest a preamp/DI that fits in your case (Tone Hammer, VT Bass DI)...
