Looks like I volunteered to play bass and do vocals on "Strutter" by KISS at the Dean Owners open house...
On that note, I got an APeg SCR-DI to run into my little PA to practice. LOVE it! I really listened to clips with and without overdrive. I am probably a 90% of the time pristine clean guy. But I see how a little growl and hair adds a nice gruffness to the tone. So I really wanted a DI that had the option to go dirt or not.
That pretty much meant MXR M80 or Ampeg SCR. As much as I dug the Tech 21 Bass Driver, and the VT Bass, they had one sound without changing the knobs.
Anyway, I went with the Ampeg SCR-DI. I really like the clean tone, especially with ultra low and high engaged. I also love all the out options. I can use it straight to the board (most likely), into an amp, both, or even as a private practice amp with headphones. PERFECT!!!
Now - back to Strutter. That Gene guy, he doesn't sit still on a root note. Moving all over. Serious PITA to hit all those notes and sing!!!!! I'm not gonna play it note for - but I'll try. 3 weeks until gig.
