Along with the Arkham Oracle tube preamp and RNDI. This combination knocks it out of the park for me.

Yeah, I(we) tend to like a fairly clean sound. Yet, we can never seem to get the bass to sound full and warm in our ears.
If you want, you can also try my VT Bass. I don't use pedals these days.Yeah, I(we) tend to like a fairly clean sound. Yet, we can never seem to get the bass to sound full and warm in our ears.
It's not so much about feeling it as it is hearing a more full sound.All of these suggestions are great. But, have you considered trying the BackBeat? No matter what is on your pedal board, no matter the DI, no matter the sound out in the audience, you will always feel the bass and will feel like you have a full robust sound. I am 100% sold on what it does for my stage feel and confidence.

I don't really want to use to many pedals either, and I could probably get by with my JDI, but for all my IEM us it would be nice if it had a more "amp/cab/speaker" type of sound.
The thought crossed my mind. I think I have pretty decent IEM's. They aren't custom fit, but they seal well and are triple driver Westone UM 30's. The are pretty nice.Maybe it's your IEMs / headphones? I use some Sony studio phones. Haven't graduated to good IEMs (yet).

I get it. The thing is my drummer and guitar player would like to hear the bass differently as well. They're the ones that mention it the most.I understand. While it seems counterintuitive the BackBeat will help even the worst IEM system feel fuller. This is especially true if you pipe the IEM mix through the BackBeat. Drums, bass, keys... It all becomes fuller because you are feeling the exact frequencies being played.
What DI is that?

This may take the place of the SLO for me... Man, I thought I had the board settled.Hold out for the forthcoming DSM Noisemaker Simplifier Bass Station. I've got a prototype and it really is an amazing piece of kit that I think will accommodate the DI and warmth you are seeking. Also adds the right amount of coloration with cab simulation and excellent preamp blend for live FOH situations.
