From Talk Bass review list
I'm glad I have bought a comp (M8 in the mail) before reading this! So much choice, but I'm definitely going for transparent, so hopefully will get it right first time.

So:

A VCA Compressor better with an Active Bass

An Optical Compressor better with a Passive Bass

Any thoughts?

I hooked up my new Empress Bass Compressor yesterday and it’s superb. So superb, it’s knocked the Origin Cali76 Bass into the “for sale” pile. The LED monitoring strip alone is worth the price of admission.

I think having chubby hands and old strings is still in the top five
