Don't suppose any one knows of any good reading as far as comperssion on bass.
the idea with bass is because it should (along with the kick) anchor the track, you want it as level as possible. try looking for an optical style compressor (LA2A or similiar) ik multimedia have one in their t-racks singles range that would be perfect for bass





bass loves compression
