Switching instruments between songs

Another good thing with the radial bigshot i/o is that it has a volume dampener for the second connected instrument, so you can adjust them to the same volume.

However, I sold mine, as I realized I have switching between instruments and that I'm not going to switch basses and do the in-between-songs talking as well. No-one in the audience is going to care anyway what bass I use. So I always bring just one bass, the most appropriate one for the gig. I use the fretless jazz only if I don't have to sing too much and the sound fits the music. I play mostly only supportive bass lines, not "lead bass lines", so it's not vital for me to use the fretless on any gig, but it's fun in the reggae band. :)
