So I am quite happy with the instrument but lo! I the 400Watts Peavy-bass amp I used for my guitars was stolen long years ago and anyway I prefer to play my guitars on the computer using Guitarix and on occasion C*-plugins and Rakarrack.
These are not made for bass I understand. But as allways I do not care for standards and common sense when it comes to music and sound so I plugged the Sammick to guitarix. It would not have me suprised if I would have been able to find a usable sound after some 1-2h of fiddeling but indeed it worked after a few minutes.
I took the Bassman-Tonestack and a 15"-cabinet with pre 12ax/6V6, adjusted gain-levels and added the compressor. And see: I get a signal not only usable but great, with nice substantial mids, a solid bass and brilliant treble and all this whithout annoying spikes. The shortscale sounds trice the price I payed for it.
And now the best: after pluging my IbanezRG to guitarix adjusted for the bass it took me only but a minute to get a good signal from the guitar too(whithout simply switching presets that is). Thanks guitarix I spent 3h of my rare free-time with only 5-6 minutes adjusting software and all the rest playing music and all the frustration in it are related to bad playing and not to unwanted suprises with software.
So in the end: my bassless times are gone and I look forwrad a bright future playing tunes whith an extra-octave down. Thanks to brummer for Guitarix.
