Depends on what you are looking for in a comp. Ive been through a lot and found the Aguilar TLC to be nice and have quite a bit of coloration to the tone. In a good way. On the other hand, I actually prefer the MXR Bass Compressor because I use it more as a limiter, and because it doesn’t color the tone nearly as much. This lets me use the compressor as more of a utility instead of a tone shaper. I use it as a limiter because I switch between active Warwick $$, Marcus Miller Jazz, and a few passive jazz basses.

Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis

Im looking for it more for sustain and just general thickening of the low end since im using a hpf to filter out and run the high end through an overdrive. I want to run the clean low end through a compressor to fatten it up and hopefully improve sustain.
i run either a spector rebop 5mm with a darkglass tone capsule or my brother runs through the same rig with a 79 peavey t40
I watched a few demos
Why the hell EVERY amp I like is either rare like a unicorn, or insanely expensive, or an unreliable time-bomb?? Or even two of these options combined?
Have you tried any of the amp modeling stuff like a Line6 or the like?I watched a few demos

It's against my religion
Lucas, this is your first written warning .

well, theres one on reverb right now... I think they are asking about $200 too much, but it looks to be in fine condition.
Fender 1200 WATT TUBE BASS HEAD | Sam Ash San Antonio
In the USA all these amps are a bit easier to find... And less expensive. I live in Italy, a lot less variety here, and if you have them shipped... Add trans-oceanic shipping + something like 25% taxes.
HPFs, amp and cab repair, other stuff. Occasionally dirt talk.
John Paul Jones played 360s thru most of zeppelin. They tend to be $$$ and not common among the doom scene. However,
the 370 seems a popular amp among doomsters. Never played one tho.
Building a parts jazz bass. Ordered an old black MIM body off ebay and a brazilian ebony neck from warmoth. Currently the high bidder on a 70s set of dimarzios too.
Still making decisions on finishing off the bass. The neck is going to be fooking heavy, so I'm thinking anout a high mass bridge to help balance the weight. Probably a hipshot kickass. Schaller bml tuners likely. Lots of options to peruse! Good thing I know what pickups I like otherwise that is quite the rabbit hole.
Likely heresy to many, but I never got into Zeppelin. Maybe that’s why I haven’t heard much of the 360.
