I saw a 'shootout' between the BOSS CP-1X against the MXR Dunlop Bass compressor. Several different styles and bass guitars and to me the MXR had a clearer sound.
Both under $200, the plus with the BOSS is it has a self-contained 9 volt battery so I don't need a power supply with only one pedal. I do have a battery connector with the correct polarity to run a pedal without plugging wall power.
In America, it's the FDA.

Agree... if you have a buyer, the price isn't crazy. If I recall various original Beatles manuscripts had gone up for auction fetching amazing prices. Those were legit.
Hopefully, Don Henley wins his case and recovers his original documents. I then wonder if photo copies will appear on eBay!
I get it, especially if they didn't pay attention to pattern direction, lining up stripes or used scissors that needed sharpening.
Before I was born, my mom stayed home to raise my brother and did piecework sewing girls gym suits. They would bring her boxes of all the parts pre-cut. The boxes were numbered for the style and size. They sometimes, accidentally sent her boxes that were intended for a larger size or different style mixed in with the orders she was to put together, delaying her ability to keep up with the demand.
Track, I saw a video demo on the BOSS CP-1X that actually made sense. The guy was playing a Telecaster and picked lightly, nearly inaudible, then strummed hard. He did the same licks with the compressor on and you can clearly hear the quiet notes that were raised to a good level and the highs didn't peak out of range.
I dislike concerts in large venues because the sound systems they use are TOO FREAKIN' LOUD. Seriously, when the volume is so loud that is blurs your vision, there is no enjoyment in listening. ALWAYS I go to performances with industrial strength ear plugs.
I'm avoiding oranges and orange juice due to the sugar content. After 3 rounds of steroids (remember the itchy leg episode) my sugar levels are way up, so I'm avoiding 'all things sugar' including flour & bread products. Sadly, that includes Biscotti cookies, pasta and pizza.
You left out model helicopters... Batteries charged and I'm heading to the flying field for a few hours.
I have two Acoustic B100C amplifiers with 4-band EQ and a notch control. I'm already getting the tone I want. Adding a graphic equalizer (to an amp with a graphic equalizer) doesn't make sense to me.
Most 6-string basses have a low B and a high C. I own a 6-string bass and had some custom gauge strings and go from E to E, with guitar tuning. The luthier who worked on it took those strings off and put a standard set on, so I'm going to restring it... sooner than later. Because of the size of the neck, a 6-string bass has amazing resonance.
I took a quick look at the BOSS CP-1X Compressor effects pedal and didn't see it mentioned being useful for bass. I'm out on appointments today and will do more research later. Thanks for mentioning it.
54 years ago, I was playing through a SUNN Coliseum bass amplifier, 440 watts RMS and 880 watts peak at 2 ohms. Four Electro-Voice 15" speakers in 2 cabinets.
Mine was an early release and had an all silver face.
Fair enough. Merlot & Track, thanks for the input.
After listening to many YouTube sample videos, I bought 4 different types of pedals to experiment and none of them work as I expected. My position is bassist in a duo or trio playing small venues. I'm using a copy of a Fender Jazz bass direct into an Acoustic 100 watt amplifier with one 12: speaker. I listened to some rehearsal sounds and it's the tone I want, but I think compression may be needed in a low-volume setting to tame the peaks.
I tried a very low-end compressor and the effect (to my ear) wasn't doing anything.
Also, If I play in a duet gig, I considered an octave pedal to add an octave up filling in where we didn't have a guitarist. The FLAMMA FS08 Polyphonic Octave Pedal failed as it colored the sound with harmonics. The Boss Octave OC-5 has a grainy texture... also not desirable. My next experiment will be playing the parts on a guitar to see if the one octave down reads better.
Two other pedals had flange, delay, reverb... all made me queasy when they distorted.
My first thought would be Abraham Lincoln. Born into poverty, self-educated, had a rough life, a few failed businesses, battled depression, persisted until he achieved success. I didn't study him in depth, but I don't recall him achieving great wealth.
The contractor said he would 'give her a break' on the rework. Labor only. It was pulling up the floor cleats and moving the wall over.
The client 'jumped ahead' and so did the contractor by building the wall from the plans supplied to him.
My drawings have dates and version/revision numbers on them. On sets going to several trades, I mark CONCEPT ONLY - NOT FOR PRODUCTION until I get a sign-off from the responsible party.
It totally surprised me. The meeting today was to get accurate measurements as the drawings she and her older sister had were design only and not production drawings. It was mentioned in my conversations. She texted me on Tuesday confirming we were to move the wall out and I was there to decide the final dimensions.
Last Thursday, in a text message with the older sister, I asked if they needed drawings to submit to the city building department for a permit and was told 'not now' and to wait until they are closer to it.
Yes, several similar stories have been circulating the internet about her modeling/escort career. The nudity and girl-girl photos were considered art... she later became America's first lady.
Unlike former Miss America, Vanessa Williams who was forced to give up her crown in a scandal when Penthouse magazine published unauthorized nude photos of her.
Collectors items that will end up in a plexiglass cube on display in a sports bar! If Trump goes to prison, they will skyrocket in value 10X what they are now!
Track, what brand/model are you using? I purchased an analog unit from Amazon and honestly cannot hear any difference. The test was only a few minutes, low volume and my bass has active pickups/circuitry.
I'll try it with my other guitar that's similar to a Fender Jazz Bass.
Agreed. While I doubt any laws are broken, these listings are speculative with the anticipation 'if they materialize, you can get them at the price listed' and if not, the deals all get recalled/cancelled due to product unavailability.
"As of Monday morning, more than 30 pairs were listed on eBay for thousands of dollars. At least 50 pairs appear to have already been sold on eBay, though there’s no way to know if all the sales are authentic."
The last time The Rolling Stones played in Florida, a friend and his wife were able to get tickets to the concert. The day before the show, he asked "What song do you think they will open with?" My response was "Jumpin' Jack Flash." During the night, I received a text with a photo of the 'Stones' on stage and his question to me "How did you know?"
It was a huge arena they performed at and unfortunately, my friend was up in the 'nose bleed' seats!
