My favorite compressor for bass

I usually use a Neve 1073 into a LA-2A for my bass rig. I recently flew in to play a session and didn't bring my rig. I ran through a Vintech 1272 into a CL-1B. Pure sweetness. Thick rich tone smooth compression. Will definitely be adding one to my rig and studio soon! A must have! Sounds great on vocals too

Amazing quality!

If you're serious about wanting to invest in a great compressor, look no further! Incredibly smooth! Wish there was a stereo version that sounded like it though.. =\

The Best Period

I own an LA-2A, a Distressor and a 2-1176. I noticed that alot of the guys that I respect had one or two of these in their racks so I sprang for one. After tracking a couple of songs, I want to go back and re-do my entire catalog. I won't take any more of your time telling you how impressed I am with the sound, the musicality, the ease of use, the quality build, etc.,. Use the time that you would have spent reading superlatives to make the extra few bucks that this costs and buy this one first. You'll save thousands.

Tube Tech - I would love to see a dual version.
