Two basses one amp

Hi, what pedal would let me plug two basses into the same amp and toggle between them? The boss LS-2 doesn’t look like it does that (unless it does?).
it does... plus LS2 has individual A & B channel vol knobs which are very useful when handling basses with different vol outputs.

one catch, you need to power it from its power adapter input or if you'd like to use it with 9v battery, then you'll need to insert dummy plug into its input jack to turn it on.

Any A/B switch will do that if you plug the basses into what's usually labeled the "out" jacks and the amp to the "in".

Of course, as others have said, pedals with at least one volume control will let you balance the signals if the basses have different outputs. Or use the volume controls on the basses.
 
As everyone has said any AB-type box will do this for you- this only gets more complicated when you want to be able to run both basses at the same time. That requires active mixing (a passive box can potentially lead to impedance issues).
