So my bass player comes over to my house to lay down some funk and I get my little cheapy set up out and long story short, after 1.5 hours of frustration and trial and error and still not getting a good sound, I give up. Jump on the web to find that it seems that the easiest way to record a bass is through a DI box. To be honest, my setup includes everything in Avinashv's "recording on the cheap" setup, minus the pop filter and, of course, the DI box. So sense tells me to stick with his setup and go with the

Only now I am cruising and I also see the

Behringer Ultra-G GI100 DI

Now this one gets me real excited becasue of the 4x12 cab simulator which has recieved stellar reviews on nearly every site that I have been to. So the question is, which is better?

OH I guess I should mention that I will also want to use this DI for recording my guitar as well (if the switchable 4x12 sim is good), and I want to use it for vocals.

So which looks best for

Bass
and
Guitar
and
Vocals

but mainly bass.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys, and great forum here!
