I know it's not an unusual instrument but before I owned a (cheap ) bass guitar I used my old Gibson ES-5 archtop guitar with the strings tuned down one full octave. Strings felt like overcooked spagh ...

Very true, but lets not lose sight, In the OLD days everyone was recording ANALOG, if you exceeded 0 DB it was a gentle transition past the 0 db point, the audio didn't jump into saturation. Compres ...

The entire point of my replies to the ops initial question is to discuss what a compressor does , it is not to determine if we like them or even if we use them. Two unrelated topics.

To that we agree. As I stated and as the video states, use them as needed, or not. I believe the big picture is before you can use one or NOT, you still have to know how to use one, which is the e ...

Got it, however, many things can be viewed with an alternative use, a compressor as well. Regardless of whether people use it is an effect, it's a dynamic processor first and foremost. It's initial a ...

What are you disagreeing with, learning how to use a compressor ?

No, of course not, I'm disagreeing with the statement that compression is not an effect. The way music is being compressed these da ...

The paint job I think is earlier. I say that because it was very well done. The control plate - the painting around the control plate- and the fret board, however, are hideous and amateurish. I think ...

That Bill Lawrence designed PU is not what I was expecting to see but hey, it never hurts to look. I wonder if the blue paint job was done at the same time, late 80's onward.

The possibility that there's a PAF sitting in there is one I had not considered, and would definitely be worth exploring. Considering the placement of the controls, and the shape of the replacement mo ...

That blue Gibson (BR3 ???) looks old enough (40's or 50's) to have been refinished and it's PU changed a long time ago, hence the possibility of that "generic humbucker" being something valu ...

I'd be curious about the pickup in that blue Gibson.
