Double Bass String Charger

[macca]

Currently using a string charger and a K+K bass Max with a Fisherman Blender. Was wondering if there is any way of using a stereo cable and being able to blend the two signals at the end using a Y cable. Its seem that running the K+K into the fishman just gives a even mix of the two pickups, maybe there is a simple mod I can do? Cheers.

Just combining the two signals without a preamp won't work very well; the impedances of the two pickups, and their output levels, are very different.

I'm not sure I follow this. I think he is talking about running two separate signals thru one TRS cord, then separating them into the two channels of the blender with the Y - thing. I think the real question is what the blender is designed for (condenser mic and piezo) - IOW whichever signal is running thru the mic channel might not be ideal.
