here's comes a few audio samples of the di/preamps i personally have. check out the following sample:
1 - radial tonebone bassbone
2 - universal audio solo 610
3 - apogee one
the signa path is:
f-bass bn5 (both pickups full on, tone full open, preamp on with all the eq flat) -> di/mic pre -> apogee one -> logic 9
everything you hear is un-processed / dry, with volume match only.
