Combo with AUX in and LINE out

[Ejdzi]

Hi,
I have a problem: I would like to buy a new bass combo equipped with AUX IN and LINE OUT. This is not difficult, of course. But I need to know a model or brand in which the LINE OUT signal is mixed between both the bass guitar and the source connected to the AUX input. Can anyone help me? I need it because I occasionally use a synthesizer and would like to be able to connect everything to one combo and then to the stage mixer or console.
The guy in the music shop have told me that this is impossible and aux in signal is only for practice (heard on headphones or headphones and combo speaker) but I believe that it couldn't be true.
Regards, Adam.

I wonder if the Rumble Studio 40/Stage 800 would work that way? Unfortunately the manual and the addendum to the manual for these on Fender's sight don't have the wiring flow diagram. Could you test either of these at a store?

Bring an ipod to the store and find out.

Thanks for answers. Can you confirm that Gallien-Krueger MB112-II & MB115-II can work that way? In my country there is no way to check GK in the music shops (only online orders from abroad) so I like to know for sure. And what TC models you mean?

Based on this from Manual for GKs I would say yes if you use "Post" button, but I'm not an expert at reading these.

According to that diagram, yes, in 'post' position, the direct out has the aux in signal mixed in. But there's no level control for the aux input, so you'll have to depend on the external device having it's own level control to get the mix you want. I think this is how my first-generation Rumbles work as well...I'll check it out later on today, but I'm pretty certain that's the case with them.

Yes, there is such diagram also in Fender Rumbles manual. And I can tell that there is very similiar solution so I think that Rumbles should be in the scope.

Welcome to TalkBass!

You can also check out combo amps made for keyboards. Roland makes some. Several others as well. Many of them have multiple channels with separate EQs for them. Pretty much any combo designed for keys can handle a bass.

When I worked at a music store years ago I remember thinking that bass sounded great through the Roland keys amps we carried.
