That's the point where you say "thanks, but keep your Behringer DI box and use the one on my head please"!

I got a great dub tone out of a Stingray due to the active EQ, I imagine one of the double pickup versions of the Stingray, Sterling, Sabre or Bongo would be even better.

The nano line only comes with soft cases, but the rest of the range have a hard case option. The hard cases are very high quality too. I think the Metro 16 is the smallest one that comes with a hard case.

I guess we have to define 'woody' first. To me, it means clean and warm so you can hear the natural tone of the instrument, so any kind of distortion is just going to blur that... I would probably suggest Darkglass Vintage due to the blend letting you mix in some smooth overdriven midrange on top of your clean tone.

As ever, it depends on many factors. E.g. if you prefer a clean uncoloured sound and have a good sound engineer then by all means send them an unprocessed pre-EQ DI and let them get on with it. If your amp has some dirt/growl/colour/whatever that's vital to your sound then you're going to want to send that coloured tone to the PA also. For example I have a Darkglass and Tech21 VT heads - like the OP's EVO1, the whole point of using them is for their colouration so I would no way want to just have a clean DI going to the desk unless it was also being mixed with a mic or 2nd DI.

I would look at the Pedaltrain Nano/Metro series. They have a planner app on their site to help your work out which model will be the right fit. Then if you want a flexible power supply that will fit underneath then you'll be after a Cioks DC5 (sold by HotRox) or a Onespot CS6 (Andertons currently cheapest). For cables I would recommend a solderless kit like Evidence Audio SIS or Tightrope for their ultra low profile plugs and the ability to change lengths as your board evolves.

Active/passive switching usually means it'll be a 250K/500K pot in there, but if you want to wire it active only you may have the option of wiring the pickups straight to the pre and putting a 25K/50K volume at the end. I know my Darkglass pre came with diagrams for both arrangements anyway! To keep it simple you'll want to swap like for like though. You might also be able to source a lower profile push/pull and wire it up exactly the same as it is now.

Whatever value you currently have, minus the push/pull bit! Hard to say without pics.

Simple solder job once you have sourced the right pot, and you can still have the active/passive switch as a separate toggle if you like. I went the other way and added a push/pull active/passive to a Darklass pre!

They are all closer to cherry or sienna sunburst - tobacco sunburst looks more grotty than those!

I hate TSB and also hate gold, except when they are together on a '57 P, when the sum is greater than its parts:

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and many Tarantino films like Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill spring to mind. They are more like song compilations though, for some that are almost entirely composed of original music I can think of Blade Runner and Tron Legacy.

@basshead56 I have a EHX B9 in my to-sell pile!

Not tried one but it does indeed look great, especially if the OP is into the VT Bass. Latest version has a cab sim on board too!

Identical except for the EQ. The fact the Two Notes drive channel is more that flavour is why I didn't think it was the best fit. Then again plenty insist their B7Ks are great for Motown, but then we're back to soup and forks again!

One thing about the Aguilar - I only ever use it with the AGS on, effectively as an overdrive that sounds a bit like your SFT. With the AGS off, it's a very transparent preamp with no grit whatsoever. The other two will probably do a better job of 'cleanish sound with vintage colouring' if you're intending to use a separate overdrive pedal.

Dunno if you're referring to me but I only mentioned the B7K not working well with my P. I liked the Le Bass with my BB's P pickup very much indeed!

Whatever you go for, I would say you want something that can do a mild warm wooly/squishy/tubey overdrive with a decent EQ and no inherent baked in mid-scoop. I would definitely check the Mesa out, your won't see a ton of recommendations for it just because not that many people own one compared to some of the other units out there. But Bobby Vega makes it sound great here:

I suppose I could make a Le Bass or dUg or Darkglass work for old school funk... I could also eat soup with a fork, but there are better options out there!

@Al Krow Change the drop-down category option under emojjis to 'default' and you will get some extra ones...

I wouldn't focus on radius at all, that second video looks like a 70s Jazz and they had a 7.25" radius! From my own experience a curvy board is only a problem when it is also wide and the board edges are sharp. I didn't get on with the Classic 50s Precision neck for this reason as I found the board on the G side cutting into my finger when reaching for the low F note, but found the same radius on a slim necked Musicman Caprice to be uber comfortable.

I have a Le Bass, but it's not well suited for old school funk / RnB IMHO. Channel A is too clean, channel B too grindy and aggressive. I was never a Darkglass fan either until I tried my Yamaha BB with both pickups on into a B7K mixed with heavy guitars, then it all clicked into place. Made it fit into the mix like a key into a lock. But it sounds crap with a P bass, especially one with flats, so probably the last pedal I would consider here!

I always thought Mighty Mite were cheaper, Allparts more expensive but generally worth the extra. Never played either mind, but that's what I'd gathered over years of forum lurking.

Aha! This one then! http://www.radialeng.com/r2011/bigshotio.php

Are you using it to go to two amps? If so, apparently a transformer isolated output is the way to go to prevent ground loops, which only some of the more expensive pedals have, like the Radial Twin City. But I've not seen one with level controls other then the one you posted. A Boss LS-2 may be able to be put into action as well depending on how you're planning to use it.
