Pedals on bypass (not "true-bypass") in the chain is bad?

My bass chain is: Bass -> Sansamp BDDI -> Soundcard
My guitar chain is: Guitar -> Ibanez TS7 -> Soundcard

I want to setup my gear in a way that my bass and my guitar use the same cable, then I won´t have to disconnect the TS7 or the BDDI and all the cables involved evertime that I decide to change the instrument. So, the chains are going to be:

Tracking bass: Bass -> Ibanez TS7 (bypass) -> Sansamp BDDI (active) -> Soundcard
Tracking guitar: Guitar -> Ibanez TS7 (active) -> Sansamp BDDI (bypass) -> Soundcard

Nome of these pedals (TS7 and BDDI) are "true-bypass", so I was wondering if put them bypassed on the chain like this will make the signal worse in any way.
 
Seriously, if it were live I'd understand...better to a) not take the chance and b) cut down on cable length, I'd say.
