Thank you for all the suggestions. I will mainly use it to even out the peaks and lows on my playing. I have noticed that whenever I play even my passive Alpher that I still have to use the pad on my amp as when I dig in even a little bit(fingerstyle), my cab starts farting out. Now I say this as I normally run a helix lt and that’s how I rolled for a number of years and have enjoyed the la compressor amongst other choices. I find it very subtle and transparent. But I find myself recently just plugging in straight to my amp and use a clip on tuner instead (bit liberating). Obviously I go back to the helix if I want effects(depends on which band I play with). But am just looking to simplify things and just get a compressor on its own that can run off a 9v battery. Less wires the better.

I'm looking for a stand alone compressor pedal that is battery operated. Any suggestions? At the moment I'm leaning towards Zoom MS 60B just because it can be battery powered(I don't really need its other features). Any other ideas?

Picked up a cab from Chris. Not the first time I dealt with him. Had a good geek out with basses. Awesome bloke. Deal with confidence!

My 2002 Lakland 55-94. Workhorse of a bass. Lightweight too. Only sold it as I moved to Alpher basses. Still wish I kept it and stuck it under my bed.

The way I see it, it's a cost effective way of getting the B string to sound good on mass produced instruments. Also fashion.

I agree with this. The only thing that was going against for me with Atelier Z was the weight of the one I used to own. In the end, I stuck with 55-94 for a number of years. That Lakland weighed less than 4kgs while the Atelier Z was 4.5-4.7kgs. But the tone of that thing. Oh boy

Normally I'd say keep the BB but Fender Japan is something else. So........

2 basses 2 straps. I'm done!

I forgot how my rig sounds. I've been GAS-ing for a different cab for the last couple of months. Took my cab out of the garage and hooked everything up. So in love all over again!

Have to be Heistercamp Supersoft Leedon Tor for me.
