You might want to give Val a call and ask him about it. tom_z Advanced Member Username: tom_z Post Number: 301 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Sunday, March 05, 2006 - 9:14 am:    James - give Alembic a call. I'm sure they can fill you in on the feasibility of such a mod and give you a cost breakdown.

I jump the channels on the F2B (bass input #1 channel A, then a small cable from input #2 channel A to input #1 channel B) then I take the separate outs to a stereo amp and two separate cabs (2x10 and 1x15). Actually, I use a dual channel comp in between the F2B and the power amp. It works like a charm. I was thinking of wiring my Jazz with dual output to have separate output control from the bass like on my Series I. strangerones Junior Username: strangerones Post Number: 35 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Sunday, March 05, 2006 - 2:12 pm:    Would linking two inputs like that really allow you to use both channels, or am I reading that wrong?
