Tomorrow I'm off to have my lug'oles measured up!!!

Yes, very nice! Slightly warmer than standard EMG without the top end peak that EMGs naturally do, but being as they are both bar magnet types, they have a character in common. I like EMGs and Ive used them for a long time, but the Aguilar DCBs are very good indeed.

So the answer does depend on the amplifier you are using. Yes the whole impedance thing is very important first and foremost. Yes, you will get a bass sound out of the amp without doing any damage. The extent of how useful the sound is does depend on the amplifer though. As noted above, some guitar amps DO have a big roll off in the lows so when they distort, they don't sound mushy. That's not always good news for the bass player though. Our power is in the lows. Sure, you'll be loud enough but you *might not* get trousers flapping. It is true that quite a few bass amps share the same circuit topology that guitar amps do with *but* minor tweaks. I have a '68 Marshall Super Bass, which as I understand it has probably £1 worth of component changes (if that) to make the Marshall Super Lead model suitable for bass, hence the name change. Oh and how does it sound? Luscious! I had a recent service where some components were further uprated and I am very surprised at how much low end can come from such a simple amp design. In response to the comment about StickelBack - The bass player uses guitar amps in parallel with bass amps to get an aggressive bass sound. So the guitar amps aren't deploying the earthquake part of Mike's signal. I only know this as it was asked reacently on the forum.

I've run two signal paths mixed in to one stereo pair for quite a while now for dirty and dry signals. If you want to do it on a budget to see how you get on, see if you can pick up a secondhand Line 6 X3 Live which will allow you to mix stereo guitar and bass rigs together with effects to achieve what you need.

I've taken the advice from you and this thread using the 1964 Qi as a base line whilst explaining my needs. I expect I will have lots of discussions, visits and coffee before making a final decision. These are early days yet and I've had lots of suggestions for makes and models which it seems Paul stocks. I'll be able to get some comparisons that will hopefully enable me to narrow the choices down.

Yes, I'd spotted that and realised I may end up spending much longer looking for the ideal combination. That said, I really liked the pair n the gallery that were clear with the red writing on one and blue on the other. Simple, clean, no messing. But then, there's also translucent purple... or trans blue with green tips.... wait... I'll be back later.. lol

I've sent an email to Paul@ Custom IEM for a chat, looking at a purchase in the not tooooo distant future.
