A/B box suggestions

Sign in to disble this ad
I attempted to do a search but as you all know it's a bit hard to search for things with short words.

Basically I'm looking for an A/B box because I plan on using two basses and running them into a single amp. I assume this is what I would need to swap from one bass to another on the fly between songs without having to unplug and plug up when switching?

Just wondering if there are any basic A/B boxes out there that you folks could suggest to me. I want something transparent and that will do the job hopefully without needing an addtional power supply.

thanks!

that micro A/B looks good but I would like to have one like the Radial where you can balance the volume between the two instruments.

There's a Radial i/o on ebay, ending this afternoon. Price is good.
I just bought one new or I'd be on it. Thought I'd pass the deal along.
