Advise on In-Ear Bass Rig

I'm in the process of looking for an amp and while talking with my drummer brother (in Nashville) he say's "James only used a good DI and sometime a preamp for his bass rig, everything went through the in-ear monitors". So that brings me to the question, Has anybody out there done at some time or does at this time that type of a signal rig? The band I play with and one I'm looking at both use in-ears for monitors. I now use a 1U mixer and a line splitter to split my bass and vocal and then bring one line in for all the vocals, guitars and any other send I want/need. It works, even though i do not listen to my rig, I feel it and that will be gone. Thanks in advance!

:help:

I've used Buttkickers before and I don't really care for them -- they basically just send vibrations through your feet as you play. Sure, it makes you hear the bass a bit better but, with the differences in vibrations with things like different strings and dynamics, it became more irritating than beneficial.

One possible solution if you're looking for an all-band type thing is the Jamhub. I use one when I mess around with a drummer friend of mine and, while it's not perfect, it is a fair solution.
