Long story short: After much messing around I realize that the hum coming from my bass amp is actually due to a dimmer light switch in the rehearsal room being on the same circuit as the outlet. What do you recommend for a noise suppressor?
I recommend to never put anything that (re)produces sound on the same circuit with a dimmer!! Same goes for motors (compressors, refrigerators, elevators, etc.)
To clarify: the dimmer switch does not operate the outlet but does operate the overhead lights. I suspect the lights and outlet are powered off the the same circuit thus the reason for the noise.
This should be the first thing attempted. @Axtman : Unfortunately I've often found that rooms with dimmers are incredibly noise-prone even when plugging into a different circuit. Try running the lights without any dimming to minimize the problem, but expect that you'll always have some noise. If you can't get around the noise, any old noise gate pedal will get the job done well enough for rehearsal purposes. Not ideal, but perhaps better than dealing with a noisy rehearsal.
Play louder ??? Sorry... couldn't resist! In all seriousness, the above recommendations are your best solution. Use a different circuit. Or turn off the lights. If neither are NOT an option, as a last resort, you MIGHT try something like the Ebtech Hum eliminator, but I don't know if it will work.
Expensive option, but it'll work every time: a conditioning UPS. Cleanest source of power you can get, short of a standalone battery array, mostly because it _is_ a battery with a well-regulated charging system bolted onto it. You might be able to get a standalone power-conditioner, but I've never seriously looked into those.
I wouldn't use a noise suppressor. I'm guessing you're getting 60hz hum with single coils. I would recommend getting humbuckers installed. If you need a suppressor, the ISP Decimator is the best one in my books. I wouldn't recommend using an external fix for an internal issue though.
