Stereo basses

Here's my slightly more "normal" version:

I almost forgot (cos it doesn't get much play): my Musicvox Spacecadet 12ver has dual outs.

Does anyone remember the Kramer Ripley line of guitars and basses back in the mid-to-late '80s? They also used Hex pickups to isolate each string and send it to a breakout box, where between the onboard controls and it you could pan any string pretty much anywhere in the stereo field. Way before its time, and pretty useless live and only used in the studio by a few big-name stars of the day (Van Halen, Vai...) You can also hear it in some parts of Queensryche's "Operation: Mindcrime", who were Kramer endorsees at the time.

The Peavey Bromberg B-quad 4-5 Iam not sure about the Dean Bromberg Bass

one advantage to having separate pickup outputs is when using separate low and high cabs, either full range or with a x-over in a bi-amp system. Once you're dialed in, you can control your low rig from your high rig from the bass.
I use this type of setup with my series instrument and it's addicting, at least for me.
total control of the highs and lows and a more dimensional sound.

iamthebassman - dude, I want that bass.

question is why do you want stereo? Do you want each pickup to have a seprate out? Do you want to just split your signal and sent 2 signals different places. All of those things are easily done to any bass.

If you can find a copy of this albulm, you will hear string panning used to great effect! There is a wicked solo where he does a super fast tap and slap and the notes come from everywhere! The liner notes even include his bass settings for each song. I believe it was all recorded with the Bquad 4 I do remember that they came with an assortment of strings from regular and piccolo as well as silk wrapped.
