Recommend a DI box please

[bohemond]

Hi all. I am looking for a Di that has dist level and or blend. Has two or more inputs as I use 3 basses live with different tunings. Also i will be switching not just before a new set for a different tuned bass but between songs on occasion. So i need to mute from the pa sound. Would i need a mute on the di or would the tuner out when activated mute for my bass switch. Thanks. I have been looking over the web so much im wearing out. Could i use a AB box before the Di ?? Thanks

All I got for you is yes you can use an AB box before the DI. AB boxes tend to cost $50 + and can be found at GC, musicians friend, ect.

The EBS Microbass II, the sansamp deluxe, the new radial tonebone with distortion...

Thanks. Just looked at the Radial firefly. 600 bucks is out of my price range but it looked very nice

Im going to go with the Radial Bassbone OD.

Had the original Bassbone and it was great. The new OD version sounds like it is made for you.l

I couldn't agree more!

IMHO, the best in that comparison is the Eclair Engineering,..but since it's not easily available to buy,.. The RedDI comes very close as the second winner..

The Firefly can be had used for much less than 600. It's a great piece of gear too. When my amp died on a gig I was able to play the bass through the DI and still had very good tone in the monitors.
