[copachino]

Im looking for a friend a compressor for jazz bass 5 i have read that the c4 comp its ok with normal bass with for a 5 string bass it rolls off some freqs and its not good, but have anyone tried it?? Also i hace seen that analog man have one that may be an orange squezer moded for bass any bass player can tell me better?? I never have use a compressor so i dont undertand them at all so im not so sure where to look but some how the keelley ones are a bit famous over the net

Never used a keely, orange squeezer really depends on your style / application. I've built many but I really like the ehx soul preacher. I've not found a clone of it yet,. Bear hug is nice. As a bass player, I find too many knobs tedious when it comes to live applications.

have you ever tried a ross no mods just a two knob bare ross??

[jimilee]

Nope, used an engineers thumb, I'd say that's got a great sound. Used an afterlife, used a rotten comp, a byoc opti comp. I planned on building the analog man comp. Orange squeezer in to a Rossi believe. Used a 4 knob Ross comp that pickdropper sells

i have the board for the pickdropperss one, how to found it??, does it roll off any freq??

I didn't find it to roll off any eq, I use a five strong as well, although I found a 4 string and a hip shot to be as useful and lighter. There really isn't much you can do to compress the low b string though.

True story, some overdrives you can run into a compressor and some don't react well.  For bass it just smooths out the unwanted rumble if you do it right.
