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?

Tecamp Puma 500 used but in good condition. Comes with a carrying case.

500watts @ 4ohms
300watts @ 8ohms

Probably one of the best sounding heads I’ve ever owned. Only selling due to an upgrade.

Asking for £350 posted. Or you can come around and try it with my Aguilar GS212(also for sale) or Genz Benz NX2 212t. Also can meet up up to around 50-60 miles from Worcester.

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!

Selling my Aguilar GS212 600w 4ohms with cover. £400 NOW £300

It's in used but good condition. Only have used it for a handful of times in the last 3 years because of COVID. But the times that I have used, couple of rehearsals and 2 or 3 gigs, I've had no complains with the tone or volume.

Only selling it due to changing form factor.

Can deliver to up to 50-60 miles from Worcester or can meet up somewhere mid way I'm easy.

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 had given up on jazz basses to be honest and I had this up for sale. then I played and got to know this Atelier Z . Just an incredible instrument. 

 

Its hard to describe how fat and huge this bass sounds, not many people mention the necks on these basses. .  I thought the Lakland 5594 was a fantastic instrument but this AZ blows it away.

 

Did you find a keeper.?

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

 

Just out of curiosity, what run of the mill cab do you pair this with?

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

Oh crikey. I don't have the funds yet! 

2 basses 2 straps. I'm done!

Love these basses. I had 3 of them in the past. Preamp is very useable.

What a bargain!

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!

Ooohhh. I'd like to take the offer!

Have to be Heistercamp Supersoft Leedon Tor for me.

 

Not much but this is my bass history

Yamaha RBX170 - candy apple red
Fender Jazz Bass classic 74 - MIM black with rosewood board with perloid blocks and white binding
Musicman Stingray 4 - 2009 pacific blue burst with matching headstock and maple board
Yamaha TRB1005 - MIK in caramel brown
Yamaha TRB5pii - (Bubinga) and ebony board 
Warwick Streamer Jazzman 4 - in lovely ocean blue
Atelier Z M265 custom - lovely creamy trans white with maple board and perloid blocks and cream binding pickup config of JMJ
Lakland Skyline 55-69 - Tetsukya pink Japan only model with maple board
Lakland 55-94 deluxe - teal burst and birdseye maple board and later got it refinished by Jaydee guitars to electric blue
Warwick Streamer LX - bit of an odd ball. In natural colour and ovangkol neck and wenge board. Pickup config is like what you see on Thumb
Warwick Streamer Jazzman 5 - lovely purple colour
Warwick Streamer Jazzman 4 - another ocean blue
Musicman Stingray Starry Night 4 - this one is soooooooooo disco!
Warwick Corvette Hotrod 5 - probably my favourite in terms of aesthetics(swamp ash body, flame maple top, flame maple board, maple neck with matching flame maple headstock) and insane growl for daaaaaaaaaaysssssss
Limelight Jazz bass - classic 1962 olympic white and rosewood board
Musicman Stingray 4 HH - pacific blue burst with matching headstock but rosewood board this time
Warwick Corvette $$ limited edition - very nice zebrano top
MTD Saratoga Norm Stockton - probably the most expensive I have owned!
Mike Lull PJ5 - lovely dark brown finish with birdseye maple board just classy!
Fender Jazz Bass 4 FSR - 70's bass natural, maple board with perloid blocks and cream binding and Lindy Fralins pickups + J retro 
Alpher Mako 4 - Crazyburl top, master grade roasted birdseye maple. Double humbuckers Nords bigblades (insane output even though it's all passive!!!) with coil split and series/parallel options (insane tonal variations!!)
Yamaha TRB1005 - trans black with quilted ?veneer top (think it's still here on the market place for sale)
Alpher Cobia 5 - roasted swamp ash body, flame maple top, wenge neck and board. Lovely teal finish. Bigblades 5. Again all passive with series/parallel switching.
Alpher Cobia 5 - paulownia body, flame maple top, flame maple neck and board. Bigblades 5 with Nords 3b preamp (Still waiting for completion)

Last two are the ones that I technically own at the moment, although the last one is awaiting completion. So I only have 1 bass in my stable at the moment!

Yoooooooo this is so good of a deal! Used to have one and I still miss it badly. If this is still here by the end of January I will have to move my current cab to get this!
