I use an AB box.
I run the DB through a Fishman preamp before it gets to the AB box - that works just fine for me.

Doing it that way means that the 'unused' instrument hasn't got a chance of making a noise accidentally and I can essentially 'preset' the tone settings for the two instruments individually.

i'm thinking if i have the vol down on the input until i use the BG it will be ok, hang on tho then i've got to kill the vol on the DB when i use the BG

ok.... any suggestions for a decent A/B box?
