I have a Great River ME-1NV and a Groove Tubes Brick that both sound great on bass. I recently tried to DI a Musicman Stingray with active EMG replacement pickups and the Great River couldn't handle the hot signal to the DI without really overloading the input and making the bass "moo." I emailed Dan Kennedy about it and he told me the ME-1NV DI was pretty much designed around a Fender P-Bass and that there's not much I can do about it. I'm looking for a way to pad that bass signal down (without the tone sacrifice of turning the bass volume knob down) so I can get this active bass running through the Great River... it sounds fantastic on my other passive bass. Luckily, in this case, I had my Groove Tubes Brick to put the EMG equiped Stingray into instead and it sounds great in its own right.
