Switching Double and Electric bass onstage

Thinking about the Bassbone. Does anyone know how it will do with a Lakland active and a NS NXT EUB??
I use a Bassbone with my NXT and Fodera. Perfect setup. I can eq channel 2 to match the output and tone I want. Here's a couple pics of the board and basses.
Could you list for me the different pedal effects you use? Thank you, I cant make them all out in the picture.
The BassBone has strange EQ points.
I think the RMI Basswitch is far the best device for switching between different basses:
- perfect input stage: switchable 10MegaOhm input
- great 5 band eq
- pristine DI
- switchable parallel effects loop w. phase switch
- fixed serial loop
.... and great sound quality!

well for starters, the bass pot is centered at 75 hz
the shape gas a bass boost at 110hz
the input impedance is 470 ohms which might be a bit low for some piezo PO used on double basses

Well, if you're simply looking at specs...
But I can say I've owned/used gobs of gear that had the "Bass" EQ centered anywhere between 40hz to 120hz. None of it's "standard" as far as I can tell, but I'd guess so far 80hz has been the most common...and with a real wide bandwidth there's probably not a Huge audible difference in a few hz on either side of that.
YMMV of course, but I'm still not sold on 75hz being weird - and to my ears the unit sounded good on the 6 month tour I needed it for.
Obviously with the low input impedance, something between the piezo and the Bassbone input will be advisable.

Ok, we agree to disagree
I tried both, played both for over a year and for my needs and to my ear the Basswitch suits best

DIY
There are tons of diagrams in the web, and are bassically entry-level projects. 3 jacks, a pair of LEDs, resistors, pots and wire. If you have the time and patience they are dirty cheap to make.
