I have a Sunn Beta Bass amp with two channels. I have my bridge pickup set up with a more aggressive tone with a bit of drive and a little bit of mids, the neck pickup is scooped.

I use it too, stereo cable style, bridge p/up into an Acoustic 260 micro stack (sometimes I use an EH Nano muff on that line just for a little "oomph" ) and neck p/up into an Acoustic B100. I've said it before I'll say it again, expensive American bass through affordable Chinese amps... and anyone that has a problem with it can give me the $$$ for a couple vintage 361s :lol: :lol:

The few times I have used it, it has been great. I did a recording session with ROS one time, which was fun. But I have never made it a permanent part of my live rig. I would like to come up with some way of using effects that would be good with it, I don't really want to bother with two amps though.

The box on the bottom is a custom Rick-O-Sound type splitter with a built-in headphone amp/mixer. It can also combine both signals or swap which goes to which SansAmp, in either passive or buffered active mode...
But CJ, does it go up to 12???!!?

Do it! I used to do it all the time with he last band I was in. It sounds amazing!

Better get on the sound man's good side first, though. :lol:

I do. Neck pickup goes through a compressor then to channel 1 of my amp. Bridge pickup goes through another compressor, chorus, fuzz, and a synth pedal, then to channel 2 of my amp.

Absolutely and exclusively. Nothing ever gets plugged into the mono jack.

I use it as well, going into two Fender Bronco 40 amps for practicing, and two Marshall MB150 amps for performing - a very cool invention, no doubt! :mrgreen:
