Greetings and Salutations!
Now that I am playing Stick again... My main role in both projects I am involved in is bass. I play jazz fusion and world music.... My set up is a Genz-Benz 12.0 Shuttle max into 2 1x12's. I want to incorporate the Stick into the mix, and will be playing both sides of the Stick... I am not sure whether to get active speakers and a mixer and dump all into that, or get a separate rig for the STICK... one thought was to run the bass side into my bass rig, and get a nice powered speaker for the melody and midi side.... I do not want to start hauling a bunch of heavy stuff around...Thanks for your input!!!!
Hi Randy, Since your bass head has an effects loop (several, in fact), if the speakers you are using are full-range, a simple solution is to put a mixer in the effects loop, that way you can run everything through the same speaker (less to carry).
I've been using this kind of setup for over a decade and I find it works really well. The head I use to power everthing is an SWR-SM-400, which atually has a stereo power amp, but I find I rarely use both power amp channels as one channel of my stereo rig will run into the house monitors.
Happy multi-channel tapping,
Greg
