Compressors iron out those notes that occassionally boom, so you never really notice them working. I just have a little compression on my amp always on. It does affect your tone, but it also keeps things like my pedals in check, so, for example, my bass micro synth gets louder as it gets lower (as I like extra bass on my pedals so it gets louder), and it just quietens the pedal down a bit and levels it out. If I had the money I'd put each pedal in it's own bypass loop with a compressor/limiter for each pedal to tune it for each pedal. But I'm fresh outa cash

Welcome there! have funn... [size=1]Get out while you still can[/size]

One that's been cropping up recently - OP means original post(er)

cmon, thats just an attention cry- 'look at me I'm powerful!' If it really was as powerful as it implies (which it aint as it's not RMS) then they wouldn't need to boast about it... like apple.

I'd say get a nice ampeg head with whatever cab takes yor fancy - mapeg does match ampeg well, though

Not sure why, but always prefered a jazz bass. I think it's because my fingerstyle was always very strong, so I can push a J-bass when I'm over the front pickup and get a nice percussive sound, and still get a really rocky sound from the back pickup with just as much power from my fingers - I don't really 'do' soft playing in general. i do soft playing, it's just that my main fingerstyle is about twice as aggressive as most people's, so with a P-bass (with 1 pickup nearer the front) I tend to just push the bass too far all the time - which can sound great, just not 100% of the time.

get 3 whammies in a row.

lmao I never realised how similar the stages in a compressor are to that of the toilet. . attack, compression, reaching threshold, and release. hahaa

I've used it (g-tard has it). it's OK, but as with everything it's simulating digitally what you can only really get with tubes. I really don't like line 6. esaelp taoc (read it backwards - i was bored)

wahoo I totally saw Israel Houghton live! I know what you mean. I'm looking into the same thing, and it looks like a midi pickup with a straight forward MIDI output into a mac would be the best option... and the most expensive. i reckon about... £1500 including the mac? lol

Pearl, my 2008 american fender jazz bass. guess what colour. Go on. Guess.

Ah, yes but which shoebox? Some shoeboxes are quite interesting

Oh dear... Incoming: 2008 Standard American fender Jazz bass Ashdown MAG-300 combo with 4x10"s Jim Dunlop 105Q wah Woolly Mammoth Clone new Pedalboard Lots of leads EHX BMS Outgoing: none... GAS list: Anything Ampeg. MB pro hmmmm

I gotta help a fella in need - SOLD!

haha, there's been wayy too many times where I've turned up with a bigger pedalboard than the guitarist!

I'd love to see if one of them had a valve-driven pedal and to watch the steam slowly rise from the pedalboard! I expect they could just buy new ones, or get someone to repair it pretty easily.

MB pro... 'nuff said

it'd take you an hour to try and turn them all on anyway! haha
