I currently have an EBS multicomp, and it it pretty good. However, I would entertain the idea of upgrading if there would be a significant betterment to my sound.
Anyone have any experience with the Diamond or Empress bass compressors?
What's the best bass compressor in your opinion?

Re: Best Bass Compressor?
I've never used either of the two you're asking about, but I have to say that for good-old bread n butter bass compression, the MXR Bass Comp is superb. I went through a good 7 or 8 comps before I hit on the MXR, and my GAS is gone. I still dug the Philosopher's Tone for crazy thick compression, as more of an effect than an always-on thingy.

How about a 3Leaf Pwznor? NeroJazz is rocking one on the pedal board thread: http://ilovefuzz.com/viewtopic.php?f=14 ... 20#p707613
Spencer at 3Leaf is a bassist and a very good guy to deal with.
