I have a bass track that this band I'm recording is happy with
the sound of, but I personally think sucks... OK, maybe I
should say it a different way: "They like it, but I think they
might like it even better if I could improve upon it :D
How's that for politically correct? lol

Anyway, I'm thinking about reamping it or maybe Sans-amp-ing it,
but here's my question: If I pick up a Bass Sansamp, I know the
input isn't designed for line-level stuff, so if I run the
signal out of a line-level out on my convertors, then through a
mic pre that also has a line-level input and also an output
level control (of which I have a few), can I just feed a very
low level out of the preamp into the Sansamp input, or will I
run into impedance issues with this method?

Reamping's no problem - I can easily rig that up, so if this
other option doesn't work, I can always fall back on that, but
for another choice, would a Sansamp box work in this instance?

Problem is "Farty distortion", BTW. It may take a re-tracking
with a better input chain than the bass player's Carvin head
line-out jack, but I want to at least investigate other options
first. Worst bass sound I ever permitted to go to track... how's
that for an achievement? lol Totally my fault, though -
despite the band insisting they liked it, I should have at
least taken a direct feed though a preamp or direct box on
another channel, as well.
