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?

The idea is to hear the sound of the instrument, straight from the pickup
as I stated previously. It's all pretty academic really, as you almost
certainly will not bother to make the comparison I described:-)

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

Err no.
That's what Arny tried to do with his famous French horn snippet..
He fooled no-one except himself.
