    hello everybody! i got a question and i'm sorry if i'm gonna sound like a noob here.

    i've heard alot of good reviews about the Sansamp RBI and the Sansamp Bass Driver... and i don't know which one to get.

    if i get the Sansamp RBI rackmount unit, do i still need to get the Sansamp Bass Driver DI? or the Rackmount is enough? are they the same?

    i have a GK 700RB-II and i need a little more clarity in my tone. i used the Bass Driver of our recording tech in one of our recording sessions, and i couldn't believe how clear my tone was.

    thing is, i don't like carrying pedals around so i figured i'd get the RBI and stack it together in my SKB case.

    i think they are fundamentally the same, i'd go with the RBI, since you said you don't want to carry around pedals

    Essentially both are the same. I own the RBI,the BDDI, the new BDDI....
    The RBI does give you more options: the ins and outs are definetly a plus. As for sound, the RBI is better, more flexible: the added Mid control helps cutting thru the mix, preventing a scooped sound in 100% wet setting (when desired).
    My opinion: go for it!!
