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.

You can use the "Power Amp In" socket if you're planning to bypass the amp's front end. Providing you've set up the Zoom as a pre-amp. My amp has an Effects Loop, so I just plug my multi FX (Line6 HD500x) into the Effects Return.

Between the B1 Four or the PODxt, I would say that the B1 Four will probably be the better choice, as it will have the advantage of having a newer chipset and models (this from a Line6 fan). The PODxt is a perfectly usable solution, but the Zoom will probably give you more. Add in the footswitches, and you can set up a bunch of patches to use.
