Twin Jacks

[Depth_Charge]

I hope this is in the right section.

I was reading Bass Player Magazine and there is a Yamaha ad showing Billy Sheehan playing bass, with 2 jacks on the bass instead of the one, both with a cable plugged into it.

Out of curiosity alone, can someone tell me why there may be 2 jacks on a bass and what would each plug into?

Thanks,

Andy

His bass is wired in stereo. His neck pickup is routed to a different amp (EQ'ed differently) than his middle pickup.

Two pickups sent to two amps.

A few others have done this, I for one have and love it, but it's not always convenient.

I'm pretty sure if you use the main (mono) thing you can get both pups to one outlet, but then if you use both it's 2 diffeernt ones.
