Features & Specifications
Many bassists today use two instruments, typically with very different levels and sounds eg: a traditional Fender® style passive and a 5 string active. We designed the Bassbone to allow switching instruments without having to re-adjust tone and volume at the amp. This is done with two channels and an EQ with enough power and versatility to override the bass amp’s tone settings!

The Bassbone can also be used with one bass – with a different tonal setting for each channel, you can sound like two distinct instruments simply by switching channels.

Also included is a power-booster with variable gain and a switchable outboard effect loop which can be used individually or together. For example: introduce a flanger with boost for soloing. A balanced output sends the signal to a mixer with all your sound settings (level, EQ, effect loop), eliminating the need to carry a bass amplifier to coffee house gigs. There's even a bass-friendly tuner out!
