recording bass - sansamp?

[martyfireball]

Any of you guys record direct using the sansamp bass driver? How good is it? I now have my Podxt for geetar, but need something for direct bass. I used to use my trusty Johnston J-station, but it's been sold.
Anyone try the Behringer V-amp bass things?

Cheers

I like the bass driver a lot. I think you can get way more variation out of the bass POD, but the sansamp is great at what it does. It basically sounds like an ampeg svt.

MXR has a nice pedal/DI what i use a lot.
M-80 that is.

Ive actually used the sansamp rack mount (silver one) alot for bass

Whenever I've had the chance to use the Sansamp, I've been hugely impressed. However, I had a very tight budget about a month ago and had to get one of these bass things, so I went with a great deal on the Behringer Bass V-AMP 2 Pro(the rackmounted one). It sounds really good, and it quite flexible. So, I'd recommend the Sansamp ones first, but if your budget is small, the V-AMPs are more than capable.

I have bought the SansAmp Bass Driver pedal (i didn't knew about the rackmount) and it's awesome and ideal for those who have tight budgets. I have a crappy bass and it sounds like a 1.000$ bass with that pedal. I also use it to record clean guitars as it gives a very rich sound.

By the way, what settings do you guys use in our SansAmp?
