Bi-amping

Nice system !

You're looking at 2x10 1x18;2 2450's F-1X and SF with an Extra F-1X (but the Lexicon is going there upon repair.) Needless to say this sounds great, and I sooooo love it!

Edwin; yeah, I'm a bit slow.  Admittedly, I do check craigslist regularly, but I rarely see much that interests me; and when I do, I don't get responses to my inquiries.  I always include a link to the demos that I put up on the web a year ago, but I'm starting to think that people are probably finding the demos to be nowhere near what they're wanting to do, and thus I get no responses.  But that's ok, since I really do need to spend more time learning how to play my bass.
 
And to avoid the hijacking police, since this thread was started I've given bi-amping some more thought since it would be nice to run a clean low end single and then run my effects between the high end output and the power amp.  But one effect that I keep thinking about possibly employing in the future is pitch-bending; and I could see where that might be a bit of a problem if only part of your signal is being bent.

I can't imagine calling you slow, I just have a tendency to jump off into the deep end without looking! Music for me has always an adventure of the moment and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't (although experience has taught me how to make the failures less dramatic). Craigslist can be difficult. I've never found any satisfying musical opportunities there.
 
For your biamp ideas, I think you need to insert effects in more than one spot. Pitch shifting should indeed come before the crossover, but I would imagine that reverb and delays being only in the high end would clean things up considerably. However, then things get really complicated when sending DIs to the PA. They would need a high and a low send. For that reason, I've always biamped the whole signal. However, I did split my signal up when I did a lot of looping. Having a separate loop send makes a lot of people's lives much easier (especially the drummer who is trying to stay in time with the loop).
 
Chalie, that is indeed what I was thinking of when I was typing about a stereo biamped rig!
