Stereo Output Basses

I don't know if this qualifies as "stereo" output, but the new Epiphone Zenith's have dual outputs, one magnetic, one piezo.

BQuads.. Carvins from the 80s
I've owned about 10 of them.. never found a purpose for the stereo use.

I also have an '86 Carvin Solid Koa LB60 4 with stereo output. I've tried numerous times to take advantage of it, to no avail. There just isn't any way to utilize it. It does not provide a biamp-like sound when in use, bass frequencies are too low to benefit much from stereo enhancement and for live sound a mono signal is more uniform throughout the venue.

I want an acoustic bass bad and these are cheap and sexy! I hope to get one too.
Prolly would be in front of the Zenith if it didn't cost like $2k
Yup. In the picture below, the thick cable on the left going into the DS-5R is from the bass. The Monster cables coming out of the bass and treble ports on the DS-5R could easily be going to different preamps or rigs. In this case I have them going to different sides of the same preamp, then different sides of the power amp, then different speakers. But they could just as well be directed to two completely different rigs.
One cool thing about basses that are wired for stereo.....you can plug a set of headphones directly into the 1/4" jack and get full stereo sound. No amp, no battery powered headphone.
