    Best easy to use compressor?

    Eight years ago I had MXR bass compressor and I never gelled with it. Attack and release where just a bit "vague" if you will and kept me fiddling. So I sold it. Then, last year I bought a Bass fly rig v2, which has 2 knob compressor (compression and level), which I started using and I liked...

    Seems like most instruments have "the song"...so what is it for the bass?

    Don't know if it's already been mentioned but 7 Nation Army is the definitive bass anthem in opinion (even though it's technically not a bass blablabla). And as a 90s kid I'm obligated to mention Longview by Green Day. I also saw Money by Pink Floyd that could be one as well. I personally...

    Jazz to Gibson G3 5 string conversion idea

    I know the RD bass (with all the fancy electronics) had a volute, but that was a weird one anyway (though I kinda love it)

    Thanks a lot, good call on the wood. Was planning on buying a Squier Affinity, which has a poplar body and a laurel fingerboard, but now I might go with the Classic Vibe which is all maple (and looks a bit nicer to me). Although it's a little more expensive, but I'm not in a rush.

    Thanks, I had found some schematics but these are a lot more clear. Though the first one is for 3 wire pickups so I probably wont use that, but even so, the second is exactly what I'm looking for.

    Ok, thanks for the input everyone. I'll figure out it myself. Have a nice day.

    Even with the different wiring? Cause I feel like that's just as instrumental as the third pickup.

    MXR Deep Phase

    Thanks for the suggestion, however it's 40 euros more and it seems like a lot of knobs in comparison to the Deep Phase, that probably means it's a lot more versatile, but since I'm a phaser noob it might be best for me not to start to enthusiastically.

    Jazz to Gibson G3 5 string conversion idea

    Thanks, yeah that's the idea, and that's same what I was thinking. However, I don't have much experience with these things so I thought I'd ask the experts before I'd give it a shot. Also I think I would need new pickups to try to match the resistance of the G3 pickups which are: 5.19k for neck...

    Thank you. I'm not looking for a perfect, historically accurate remake though, just something that get's me in the ball park that doesn't break the bank and if I like it I'll just refine it over time.

    Jazz to Gibson G3 5 string conversion idea

    Thanks, but just because it wasn't a massive succes doesn't mean it was a failure in my opinion. And that Gibson haven't updated and re-released it isn't a surprise to me, they'd rather release another batch of Les Pauls instead of being creative and putting out something actually innovative...

    Jazz to Gibson G3 5 string conversion idea

    Ok, thanks for the input. About the sonic results, what do you think it would achieve? Because it doesn't have to be a hundred percent accurate, I'm definitely not going for historical accuracy, just enough to get a feel for what it would do.

    Jazz to Gibson G3 5 string conversion idea

    I have this idea and I wanted to run it by you guys and girls to see if I'm not being a complete idiot. So, for some time now I've wanted a Gibson G3 (mostly because of Mike Dirnt), but there's 3 problems: 1. They're kind of expensive (though it could be worse for a vintage bass) 2. They're...

    MXR Deep Phase

    What is a Pbf? I've tried googling, but it didn't tell me. Unless you're talking about a Xerox copy machine...:eyebrow:

    MXR Deep Phase

    Thanks for your input. Going of the likes it seems people agree with that. Since I have no experience with phasers I have no idea whether it would be bad thing for me or not, but it's definitely something to listen for if I do decide to get one.
