The Combo Club

Aaron, how do you like that Fender ABY pedal? I hear mixed reactions to it.
It’s the only one I’ve ever had so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but it does what I need it to for the most part. So far I use it to send both basses into one amp.

Now that you ask: the one thing that might help would be individual volume knobs to control the levels. Luckily the output of the pickups in my two basses is close so it’s not a big deal, but it’d be different with something like an active bass and a passive bass pair.

The real reason I landed on this ABY is because that’s what they had at the shop willing to trade. You know how it goes!

I started at the other end of the spectrum with a more complicated idea that didn’t work. That fiasco concluded with the ABY bid you see here.
Here’s the aforementioned fiasco:
Yamaha MG06 question

Later I’ll use the ABY to run one bass into two amps so I can compare the two amps.
 
That makes sense.
I’m the person that finds what they like at a restaurant and then ALWAYS gets that.

So far so good with the band.
I’m putting in the work. Whether or not anything comes of it, it’s making me a better bass player and that’s all I care about.

Thanks to my wife now something else is afoot that might “ease the load” as they say:

Whatever might it be?!
@nuage420b @Cracker7
I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count.
Ooooooo... ease the load...
Suspenders!
 
JD McPherson reference?
So much good music!
:D
Nah.
Just like the socks.
Now I have to find out who JD Mcpherson is...
Ooooooo... ease the load...
Suspenders!
Remember these?

Allow me to introduce you to my current favorite band.

And the title track of one of the best Christmas albums I own. Right next to Charlie Brown's Christmas.

Dig this.
:cool:

"Why'd you waste the paper on a lousy pair of socks?"
Sooooo, true!
Maybe an even worse present than BOOKS!
Kidding, kidding (but the 12 year old me isn't kidding).
@Cracker7
Is it a bass amp specifically?
 
The pathfinder 10 bass is a 10 watt practice amp. Small and light weight for sure. It’s really good for what it is, but I brought it back. Wasn’t for me. I actually brought home this Ampeg ba210sp. American made. Bigger, heavier, but this is bass. Really digging it...

Woooooooaaaahhhh!
Is that a v1?
What’s the wattage on that?
I’ll bet it sounds great!

Nice upgrade!

The little Vox is cute, but this is much more serious. How am I getting by with only a D4? It's even smaller and lighter than the Pathfinder 10 Bass!
