danbanbass Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Hi Guys, My setup consists of a Fender vintage 2 precision bass with a Emg geezer pickup and fender high mass bridge, I use it with a sansamp bddi v2 into an Ampeg V4 head and 212av cab. I’m looking for a compressor to use just to even the notes out a smidge more and smooth things out, any suggestions? I don’t need anything too complicated. Bass overdrive wise I’d like a bit of natural sounding valve style grind rather than full on overdrive. Whats out there and any recommendations? Quote
Supernaut Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago You're after "natural sounding valve style grind" but play an Ampeg V4 - am I missing something? Surely that and the BDDI has you covered? Quote
Lozz196 Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago For a set & forget compressor the Keeley Bassist is a good option. No bells & whistles, just does what you’re after very easily. Drive - well to add in a tad of drive I like the Ampeg Scrambler, as it has a blend you don’t lose low end and it just adds that bit extra to the sound. I have this on my Ampeg SCRDI and use it to just remove the clean sharp edges of the sound. 1 Quote
