Do it. Make sure you use a quality ABY box. The passive Radial thingy is cheap and works well.

I've found that it sounds really great through a twin reverb! Do you think splitting it out into a bass amp for extra girth would be cool, or would it just be a muddy mess?

I do basically that with a peavey heritage combo and a v4+v2 cab and it sounds perfect. If you're the only instrument in the band it also helps to have a "dry" side when using effects.

Do you use any sort of crossover if you're running 2 amps?

Nah, I just split them and cut the lows on the combo. They're both loaded with pretty flat response speakers.

I run a twin reverb and a yba 200. I have the bass amp clean and a mini in front of the twin with the lows cut on the amp. Space echo splits the signal.

It is the best sound I have ever made.

That sounds fucking rad. Do you use any other pedals or do you keep it barebones like that?

Sometimes I use a DD3 after the mini, sometimes a stanimal Supermuff bigfuzz before the RE-20.
I love dirt on the high end from the mini, it adds so much depth to the clean bass and visa versa.
I'm really excited for the driving notion I have coming. I'm going to put it on the bass side for BASS DESTRUCTIOJNZZ

Also on an unrelated note inspired by my drummer of all people I think my next build after the one I'm working on will be a violin bass IV.

On my EGC doubleneck with the 12-string VI (XII?) I decided to take the 3 octave strings off the E-A-D strings but keeping them on the others and it sounds so much better. I've essentially got my bass strings and my melody/chordal strings. I highly recommend the option if you're considering a custom VI variant.

ECG doubleneck with a 12 string vi??? Gonna need some pics!

I think I've posted it up before. I still have the 3 tuners that I'm not using in more in there but I'll probably take them out soon:

Not crap.

Seriously awesome. Gotta be heavy, but whatever. I would love another EGC, thinking maybe bass VI.

Oof thats amazing

Daaaaaaaaaang.

I'm thinking pretty heavily about saving for an ecg, they look so cool and everything I've heard has been incredibly positive about sound and quality.

I think they sound great. This is my second one. I can't really see myself spending custom-type money on a non-aluminum guitar. I really think it's a superior way of building them. I wish more companies were making them.

Yeah, the money they cost I could not understand paying for anything that's just a normal guitar. I'm not sure I can justify paying it for an aluminium guitar either... Need to find some way of trying one out.
