Active & passive bass - Need to be able to quick switch

[ZonBass18]

I have a Spector with active electronics & a 4003 Rick that I need to have roughly the same output to my amp. I would like to run two separate cords for fast switch between songs. Any ideas?

Look at the Radial Tonebone boxes for starters.

Radial Bassbone and the EBS Microbass are both 2 input boxes. I'm sure there are a few more out there as well. Maybe even one of the super cheap little 4 channel mixing boards

Sansamp deluxe models.
Boss blender mixer pedal.
Any of the Wounded Paw blenders.

The Boss LS-2 Line switcher is an affordable option. Has separate gain controls for each output. I have one and it works great.

That's the boss I was thinking of.

Possibly you're already aware and it just went without mention, but does your bass have an internal gain trim pot? It looks like there is a model (or models) with and without.

I've adjusted Bartolini and Hanson preamps in different basses so that the push/pull active/passive output was equal.

Clean boost in chain, off when using active, on with the Ric and balanced output of the pedal to match the actives?

Yes Mine has the trim pot on it - Perfect solution (Thanks, I would have never seen that)

That's what I do to even my P-bass out w/ my L2000 (even in passive mode it's much hotter than the P). I use an EP-booster. In the past, I've used an MXR 10-band EQ for the same task, with the added benefit of being able to tweak the tone a little if you need/want.
