I'm playing bass in a rock & soul band but don't have an amp.
The Bassrig is my #1 preamp for live - that's happy going into a house amp or just DI-ed (or preferably both!). At home I usually plug that or an HX Stomp into a Yamaha THRii. For recording I'll go straight into Helix Native. If I need to do some practice outside the studio or my own house I'll either take laptop and headphones or the THR and run it off the onboard battery.
Between all of that I haven't even considered a "proper" bass amp
Works really well.
But Boss Bass Cube, Fender Rumble, etc out there too. Seems a waste of a good bass to play it through a boxy guitar amp, you also need the bass amp headroom for clean transient handing for any popping and slapping which distort a guitar amp.
At home I use a DI box into the home studio desk and monitors most of the time although I have my gigging rig there too. Nice pure sound.
I’ve used an AER and a Fishman in the past and they worked well.. wouldn’t want to push the speakers with a loud drummer.
