I use a lot of compression on my Rickenbacker 370/12. Gives it that extra "Byrds" sound.

I really don't understand the need for compressors in general. Other bass players have told me that a compressor is a must have for bass guitars, but I've never used one for bass because they seem to be nothing more than tools to cover up sloppy technique. I've tried compressors on my Mellotron and the only thing they do is introduce noise into the signal path. I think there must be a use for them simply because they exist in the professional recording world, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why.
