As usual, you miss the point. An electric guitar isn't designed to be
listened to from an electrical pickup which just reacts to the
strings. They're made to be listened to via a amp/loudspeaker, which
will add to the sound produced by the pickup. And if your monitoring
adds that colouration to the DI output it will also add it to all the
other sources.

The experiment is to show the true sound of a Rickenbacker
5 string fretless bass - not a lead guitar.

I wasn't talking about a 'lead' guitar' I assumed you were talking about
bass guitars. Was I wrong?

So, it is not at all unrerasonable at least for analysis to take the
output direct from the pickup. Often on jazz recordings no amp or mic is
actually used (as I am sure you know, Dave:-)

Might as well use a sampler, Iain. As I'm sure you know, Iain. ;-)
