I have the SansAmp Bass Driver. It's not too bad.
If you just plug yer bass into it and start screwing around...you'll probably be somewhat disappointed. I was. I found that I got best results by using the thing as an effects box running into my guitar amp, then of course micing the amp.
However, I recently recorded a bass line direct while working on a new song. I was really impressed with how real it sounded in the mix compared to how it sounded alone. I think I'm going to be doing a lot more with the Sansamp as a DI box in the future.
I'm sure you can get a decent bass sound with what you've already got, but you might want to check out the Sansamp. It does have a nice tube sound and the overdrive is really nice. I've also found that it works well with my guitar for a real punchy/twangy sound.
At $129, though, you definately want to shop around and try some of this stuff out.
