The Bass Poison Ivy costs over £250 - although I got a deal on mine at one of the LBGS's - it's a boutique pedal with price to match and IMO it's worth it.
But I'm probably not going to buy another bass DI as I still like and use my £20 Behringer BDI21
Flattley Bass Poison Ivy.
Fuzz pedal that does it all. From just breaking valve type drive to nasty death metal / industrial distortion, via a lovely synth type fuzz.
No loss of bottom end due to the awesome blend pot.
Looks pretty good too - mine is blue without the halo:

If I found out where my 6 string Shuker ended up - sold on here about 10 years ago - I'd be tempted to get it back. I haven't played a 6er as light, and with a better neck since.
And so many things like feeding the hungry and giving people access to healthcare start with religion too.
Personally I would have no qualms accepting a gig if was playing with gospel singers who could belt it out like Aretha.
