2 channel switchable heads

#3
I've got a Hughes and Kettner Bassbase 600 which has 2 channels with floor switch.
Unfortunately, only one input, so can't leave two basses plugged in like you can with the Epifani, but i can have two different EQ setups for the one bass that I can switch through and it's great.

I think that this has been done before, but here are some options off the top of my head:

Eden WT-1205
Epifani UL-902
Hughes & Kettner BassBase 600
Mesa Boogie Big Block Titan V-12
Music Man HD-500
Peavey Classic 400
Walter Woods Ultra

Hey Tom, Burg just said the BB 600 only has one input, do you know about the others?

That's right. If two inputs are a must, then I think only the Walter Woods, Epifani, Eden and Mesa Boogie qualify. But keep in mind, you could throw and A/B box in front of your rig and solve that problem (if you otherwise found a head that fit your bill). Or something like the Raven Labs MDB-1 (which can let you switch up to four different instruments, with different gain settings for each).

I have a SVT-BSP pre-amp which is the same pre-amp as the SVT 5 Pro. There are two channels, a clean channel and an overdrive channel, but there is only 1 input. So I don't think this will help him. I pretty sure the SVT 5 Pro is the same pre-amp with a 1350Watt power amp attached. No dual inputs.

That model "officially" is the LMK.:) The Little Mark II is single channel. Sounds good though. I tried one out playing a Skyline 55-02 (and a Sadowsky NYC Jazz) into a Begantino cabinet and the sound was so clear and present I was really impressed.

Okay, so is the LMK available in the US? How much more costly is it than the LMKII?

My fretless is much quiter than my G&L (volume-wise, not noise-wise) and I need the higher gain setting, plus a separate e.q. I don't need the "dirty" channels, so the AG500 may well be out for me.

The LMK is not yet available in the US... but soon we hope!
We're working on it... feel free to PM me for updates!
Best,
Peter
