"Double basses with piezo pickups normally require high impedance (around 1 million ohms) active DI boxes/ preamps to sound their best. A normal unpowered DI box may make your double bass sound weedy and thin."
Peck Time: Ah yes. I should have thought about that.
Looks like I will use one of my pre-amp DI's flat and see how that all works out. I am so used to having a small amount of control over my sound so doing things this way make me feel like I have no safety net.
I also have a tube pre-amp/DI (no eq) that I will likely try in the next month or so now the outdoor shows are coming to an end.
Thanks for the comments. They all help as I re-evaluate what I have been doing.
