Planning on upgrading my bass rig and I want to go with a preamp / power amp affair. Currently using an Ampeg B410 but will at some point want to upgrade to an 8x10 or add a 1x15, but that comes later. Have considered a couple of different preamps, but love the look of this guy: line 6 X3 POD It can model guitar amps as well as bass, so can be used for either which is a lovely touch - as well as having a huge variety of sounds to choose from. I also love that it can be used as a USB interface for recording and again being usable for guitar and bass will make recording and demoing songs a little easier. My question is this: is this bad boy worth taking a punt on, or are there other bits of kit out there that are better? Someone mentioned a Fractal unit that rapes line 6 but they appear to only make guitar units. Anyway: opinions, please? Thankies xx
