Time is a great healer, just goes to show sometimes we need to let things bed in. One if my basses I sort of struggled with over a period of months, and if I was in more of a flippant mood could have gone, but something clicked all of a sudden and it was a lightbulb moment. Congrats!

Get in there buddy!!!!! i am a massive Kings X fan too, are you on the list of other BC’ers getting the dUg pedal? i was so much a fan I got something similar but since moved it on Neck was a dream, shame I couldn’t get on with the MFd pick ups How you finding it?

Agreed, I heard them on planet rock and double Took when they said it wasn’t Zep! I think they are great and am sad to miss out on their tour

The minute you said sliders I was thinking of small burgers! Of course I would, some naysayers will still probably say too many dials...

You know I am Al, Born and Bred Mancunian, Dont get sucked in to the Laaaaaandon ting bruv

Dirty, filthy videos.....

Thank you!!!

Canine undercarriage made me laff!

Then whole whole hearted apologies for getting the wrong end of the sticky stick. IMHO - there is one culture and that’s Human Nature

@Bluewine the use of compression has absolutely nothing to do with learning to play the material correctly or not, that is plainly not learning to play the material properly. If you are of the opinion that compression, or those that use it are trying to mask that, then that is derrière backwards thinking

@tonyxtiger i’d Be happy if you stick in some tablet and a wee dram, that’ll do me

Strangely addictive watching!

@Ghost_Bass fuzz off for you then. to remove any unwanted noise in your chain

2 choices - if it ain’t broke and all are happy, nowt to fix. If you wanna see if it makes it better go ahead, but don’t use it once super maxed and then say, pah it’s no good. Take time to tinker, find what works for you and your playing and your band and then see. A day not going forwards is a day going backwards

@Al Krow don’t be silly, there is no such thing, its all fables smoke and mirrors

She baths regularly me once a week at best - typical smelly boy I am

Something similar happened to me, my wife was nagging me about soemthing or other, I dunno I wasn’t playing attention, but on this occasion, I put her vocals through a compressor, and Lo and behold what she was saying suddenly made sense and I could hear it correctly. Well, I took out the bins, emptied the dishwasher and even took my weekly bath. Afterwards I managed to get a really squashed sound just by twiddling the knobs. As a result this one may be a keeper....

I am going to run out of likes soon.....

Gig Truck - like it! i could be like Colt Seevers

Does that fit in a gig bag?

Unbeknown to me until recently there appears to be a vast resource of information about compression, both on this site, and over other areas of the worldy wide webbie, who would have thought..... Some people seem to like it, some people don’t. Just when the reaping has occurred and a victor/truce has been announced, the Capitol announces another compressor games where previous immunity holds no sway and we are back into the bear pit. Maybe a short survey could provide a fresh outlook. Os there continued hunger, will a truce be called, or will it be Groundhog Day? Stay tuned.......

@51m0n it’s by no means serious, I like compression, I see it’s uses and I use it and I try to keep educating myself as best as I can on it, but am not in guys like yours league on it. I have to say I am not a fan of the question in the thread, and mine was about as silly as that, intentionally

Great list of basssists and great chops. Thank goodness they all used compression or the audience may have left and we would never had heard of them

A friend of mine who I think has a great opinion of gear, recently tried a Sire V9 jazz and was completely blown away by how good it is

He forgot compression.... https://www.facebook.com/danny.sapko/posts/10159566927360274
