As a seasoned guitarist, I am quite ignorant when it comes to the BASS platform, but I am slowly learning. Your presentation of the this MESA preamp, the QSC speaker reference and your excellent playing skills have been a big help. Thanks for taking the time to post your video.

Best demo I have seen of this mesa boogie DI. You should make more of these videos,nice bassguitar Rob!

Thanks for putting out a great demo showing the diversity of sound this model can create. This is the kind of demo I'm looking for when researching pedals.

Great demo and explanation of the features. Your video gave me the extra little push to order one. Thanks for putting this together.

Perfect demo,and great tools ! I love that flat sound !

Fantastic review and demo. Thanks, Rob.

Thanks for the review. Nice tone + great playing!

awesome demo Rob, thanks mate

Awesome Demo!!

Great demo. Thanks for sharing.

you have the groove and musical finesse of a medieval henchman ... good sound demo !

outstanding review. thank you.

While I disagree with your opinion of what constitutes a Stuart Zender tone, I must say that this has been a super informative and enjoyable demonstration of the Mesa Subway DI. Thank you for your work!

Great demo.....amazing info!!!!!

Very useful bro! I'm getting one! Thanks!

Really nice job, Rob. I think it would look/sound great on my all-black pedal board. Good sales pitch! The variable DI out is one of the best features. Pushing the low mid was way sweet compared to the high mid. That was probably the only point where the tone was not to my taste. A lot of reviews of DI/EQ pedals focus on the distortion/OD aspects ahead of the tone shaping. As you said, you're starting with a great bass tone though we never heard it on its own as a point of reference. I guess, the last nitpick would be that I'm into subtractive EQ and would probably start by cutting that high mid a bit and playing with the voice knob from there as the main flavor. Subscribed.

Very good comprehensive demo.

Nice review, Rob. Boogie fan myself. Best DI, IMHO, Mesa-Boogie WalkAbout. Tube preamp, tube driven power amp. DI uses both the pre and power sections. Just out of production. Get 'em before they're gone.

I'm sold.

Great demo man. Ok soooo......I just got the Darkglass Alpha Omicron pedal. What i'm wanting to do is get a cleaner DI preamp and record the clean sounds of say the Mesa and the gritty tone of the Alpha and blend them together. I could do that with this correct? I'm guessing by using the D.I. out on the back and then hooking up the Alpha somehow haha through the Mesa and into my interface? Kinda confusing for me but just trying to wrap my head around this before a make a purchase. I love the Alpha for it's grit but I also want a cleaner tone as well and it has a blend knob but still I want a cleaner low end and grittier top for recording heavier styles. Thanks :)

Great demo! Thanks for sharing! Could you get your hands on a Gallien Krueger Plex Preamp and do a demo on that one??

Excellent video Rob! Can you please do another one with the new model?! :-) Maybe I will order the new one!

Really good playing man

Thx what if we compare it to the ampeg scr di ??

I have the Aguilar DI and based on your examples, the Boogie is clearer, and more solid sounding. The Aguilar has a warmer sound, more colored. I like the sound of both, but at this time, I am very interested in getting the Boogie as well. I like your Focal Twins which I have as well. Is that a 737 in your rack? How does it compare?

Yeah i'm really happy with the Mesa DI. I think it's great to have a couple of options for sure. And yeah the twins are great speakers. I actually got rid of the 737 and bought two BAE neve 1073 preamps. they have DI inputs as well, and I like that Neve colour as a bass DI much better than the avalon. However even just the Mesa pedal plugged straight into the converters, as I did in the review, is a much better bass tone than using the Avalon 737 as a DI.

Hi guys love the review... lovely bass too. I have a choice between the aguilar tone hammer the mesa boogie d800. The mesa has tons of features... jus wanted to find out is the mids on Mesa sweepable?

Could you do a review with a standard Jazz and or Pbass? Because let’s be honest that Fodera is going to make anything sound amazing

Shoot me a donation and I'll do a sound test with my 74 Jazz bass ;)

Can you recommend me valve bass recording preamp with the same or better quality as Mesa Boogie Rectifier recording preamp? P.s. I am not interesting in digital shit only analog!

My thought is after you spend that much on a fodera you shouldn't need anything else to help it....That price should come with everything

The Fodera is an amazing bass, but alas it does't amplify itself.

the classic same bass riff any non "real bass player" aka youtube geek does..bababapapbaa...and back to the safety off the root note....

Macreviewz You must have a boring life if my demo playing bugs you so much. And you must not get many gigs if root notes bug you so much lol

Agreed. No bass player has ever been fired from a band for playing the roots as long as he holds the groove.
