Up until a few years ago, I was an advocate of the good old, simple, plain leather, non-padded, 3" wide strap. Relatively cheap and cheerful, does the job, was grippy enough not to slide about when you didn't want it to, etc. Did I mention relatively cheap? £10-15 per strap. Sorted. Never really used the "seatbelt" type straps for bass, but ideal for a well balanced electric guitar. As age and it's related aches & pains advanced, I decided that I needed to invest in something with a bit of padding, and decided on getting a Mono GS1 Betty. I was so impressed, I bought one for each bass.

Everyone knows that the black version is best for metal. This applies to anything.

Still think a twin pickup version would be superb

I have tinnitus as well, so I know what you mean, but you can still use headphones regularly, just make sure the volume's relatively low. A decent set of headphones will make a difference though. I did have my Hi Fi amp wired up as a monitor for my DAW setup a while back, but I've not used that since I moved over from a tower PC with a Delta 44 soundcard. As for programming it, use and trust your ears. Think of it as a new amp, and start as you would with that, only add effects when you're happy with a "core" sound. Also, don't forget that you may need to tweak your settings for a band situation, what sounds good at home, won't always sound good when playing out.

Geddy rules, but I bet he doesn't pay for his strings. And I bet they get changed incredibly regularly.

Something like a modelling multiFX unit is highly effective for home use, whether you use an FRFR type amp / speaker, or just a decent pair of headphones that will set you back far less than an FRFR / active speaker. I suppose something like a decent set of powered PC speakers might give you a decent sound, or some cheap studio monitor style speakers, but they're still more than a decent set of headphones. I use a Line6 HD500x with a set of Sennheiser HD280 Pro's at home. For band rehearsals & gigs, I plug the HD into the Effects Return of my Ashdown 2x10 combo.
