My current favorite, aside from the Retrospec Squeezebox, which I don't place on my board due to size, AC power, etc. BiComp's great, have also used many others, incl DBX 160A, Tone Press, RNC, MultiComp, a couple more).

The Compulator is great too, but the BiComp has a slight edge (though is a lot more $$). Can do both clean compression + colored, easy to use... good call all around. 4-knob is preferable (I find changing the attack is helpful for different basses/sounds), though the 3-knobs are good too.

single comprossor is great too, i personally alternate between both sides of the bicomp often.
 
What he said. I ran my Modulus Q5 through it and it squished the hell out of it and sounded very bad to me. The passive basses I ran though it sounded much, much better. Too bad I rarely play passive.

It took nearly a year to get mine from the day I ordered. It only took a week for me to sell it :(
