3 inputs into my Amp

[Maxcat]

HI all. A quick question for you. Up until now, I have used a tone bone Bassbone to input my bass and Eub. With the new band I use 2 basses and the upright. Whats the best solution. One option is to use another true bypass AB box into channel 1 of the bassbone with the 2 basses, and plug the EUB straight into channel 2. Is this overkill or is there a simpler solution. (Ill save you "just use one bass") Any other ideas. And if its an AB box any recommendations? I was looking at the Radial Big Shot as it would be nice to be able to adjust the input volumes, but I dont need a tuner out or a mute switch

Cheers

Look for a buffered mixer. Have a look at the [url="http://www.woundedpaw.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=144"]wounded paw[/url] one. He does custom work so will probably do you a 3 channel if you won't use the extra channel.

Have you thought of DIY?


One of [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=2417"]these[/url] with break before make contacts. You can get them 6, 4 or 3 way with at least 2 poles - i.e. can be used to make a selector with 6, 4 or 3 inputs. 2 poles means that you won't need to share the ground wire between basses which will avoid any interference problenm.

As many [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=1133"]sockets[/url] as you need.

some wire to join them all up

Total cost about a tenner.

Don, I've got exactly the same situation going on right now. Just bought a Radial Bigshot A/B box which is fantastic (solid as a rock and great quality) but essentially need to get the two basses into the A/B box as well as a Double bass (mic and pickup blend going through a Radial PZ-Pre preamp pedal) into one amp.

So far the way I get around it is by using an ART Powermix 4 channel passive mixer.

I go from the A/B box into one channel of the mixer and take a line out of the PZ preamp into the mixer and take all that into the amp. Best I can do so far!

The Lehle 3at1 pedal looks fantastic though. Thomann sell them for about £170.

Some good. adice/ideas guys. Cos I still want the functions of the bassbone I think I'll try the bigshot into it. Might have to lose a pedal to fit it on tho. Thanx again. I'll let you know how it goes

[Maxcat]

All sorted. Got me a Morley A/B for £15 [url="http://www.morleypedals.com/daby.jpg"]http://www.morleypedals.com/daby.jpg[/url] so Im just going to put both basses into that with the output to Ch1 Bassbone and plug the Stagg into Ch 2. All I have to do now is learn to tapdance and Ill be sweet.

Those Lehle pedals look utterly gorgeous. I wish I had a need for one.
