I've been moonlighting as a keyboards player for the last few years and this ^ is bang on the money. Most keys people simply can't help themselves ... they have to be using both hands or it feels like "cheating". I use a 2-tier rig because I hate splits but the principle is the same. My lower keyboard is for my right hand and that plays the main thing ... piano, organ, synth, whatever. My upper keyboard is for my left hand BUT set at +2 octaves so that I'm in the same register as my right hand, and that's for the twiddly bits and flourishes, or for strings/brass. Ego satisfied, plus I'm bringing far more to each song.

The other solution is buy him a vintage Fender Rhodes and for him to learn to play it right. Pretty much one funky 70's tone and little pure bass. Best band I ever played in was with keys playing one of those.....Light tones that worked everywhere.

The problem with active/passive is that the control knobs will be different values and part of the active circuitry, so not just a case of switching off the amplifier bit and keeping the volume. Would need a bit of thought. What about balance and tone controls?

Rob Mullarkey - my absolute favourite bass player ever.
Burns-bass replied to musicbassman's topic in General Discussion
I guess we’re seeing the modern bass player mutate into something as this super processed sound is really synth like. The phrasing all sounds like Stevie Wonders left hand - and that’s not a bad thing! Personally, I find it’s over produced, far too busy and the track is soulless-soul Muzak. (I think the same about Jacob Collier to be honest.) But that’s my personal taste. He seems like a lovely guy and I imagine would smash any gig. -
If you are into tinkering, use a rotary switch to get options like in Kubicki Ex-Factor: OFF/STAND-BY/ON... but like passive/active...

I haven't. I think by the time I have purchased pots and wiring, had them delivered, soldered them all together, it would just be quicker and just as expensive to fit the pre-amp, which would only require soldering the existing barrel jack in.

@warwickhunt I get what you're saying about the different ways of fingering, I'd simply never considered it.
