    Should I put a Nord big split and big single in together?

    I've got an old Cort A5 bass that I upgraded with a Dark glass tone capsule preamp a few years back. I love the feel of this bass(I had the whole thing filed and setup by Carl Pedigo, the Chicago Bass Dr) it plays like butter. Live though, with my metal band, I've been playing a Geddy Lee jazz...
