Not Quite Same As The First

I managed to pick up a programmable version of the SansAmp Bass DI for cheap this weekend, which made me extremely happy. In one fell swoop, I picked up a backup for my current box (which sounds wonderful and will never leave my side) and answered my desire for a bass overdrive/distortion pedal - a wonderfully overdriven sound is just a click away. I managed to hold in my impulse to get a used 2x10 cabinet to go along with it, although the size would be far preferable to the 1x15 cabinet I'm using now. That's just size, though - I'd want to test it out for sound before going any further.

I was also reminded why I hate working with a certain large retail chain. A group of three clerks, obviously more interested in discussing their hatred of Weezer, managed to ignore for a full five minutes before finally unlocking a cabinet to retrieve the pedal. The unlocker then rung up a customer or two while I waiting for a power supply to actually run the thing (I'm not buying a used item before testing it out). Other two clerks? Still discussing Weezer. Feh.
