Ok. I've spent some time with both my vxl and m80. Both will do exactly as You ask. Di out and then from the parallel out on the right below the input to your gk for your clean sound. Btw the mxr can definitely do it too

I find 'bass guitar' by Gregory and vinson to be really good There is a natural progression to what you learn and although it starts with blues and moves on to soul, all the basics are covered well

Iirc my mxr m80 can do that. Not certain about my vxl tho. I'll have a play about and see what I discover

I'll try to remember to ask when I try it

I can get an 8x10 rig ( 2 4x10 cabs) two heads, 5 way stand, pa system, lighting rig plus assorted props etc and 3 basses into my Honda jazz plus our sound man/ tech.

Hoping to imminently

Look at this on eBay: MURDER ONE SUB MINI AMP HEAD; for zvex nano fans; UK made + 12v power supply http://bit.ly/V4aLeh

It's on my list to try in the new year when I visit stompbox

I really enjoy my bass screamer. The eq is nice and useful. It also has the all important blend function. All in all a very useful pedal

You should be able to get pretty damn close with the b3k.

Steve Harris and Neil Murray.

Isn't it a tube screamer derivative?

Selling for £89 http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/electro-harmonix-deluxe-bass-big-muff-3677-p.asp I'm really looking forward to giving this a whirl!

Squarepusher?

I think sharay uses a Warwick rig

Tortex 1.14 for me. I also take a leaf from dimebags book and score each side with a Stanley knife. It really makes a huge difference to grip I have used the jazz 3 max grip and am pretty chuffed with them

Spinal tap without the lukewarm water of Derek smalls? - I think not! Or bad news without Colin Grigson? Doesn't bear thinking about

I have one of these for when my boys are asleep http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/electro-harmonix-headphone-amp-1318-p.asp

A quick google found this http://www.guitargeek.com/chat/complete-rig-27/robert-sledge-ben-folds-five-13094/

pretty much the list above

Or run over!

Because of the style of what we do, we are a little limited in terms of venues ( classic rock /metal), When looking for new venues, I tend to spend some time online looking at gig listings of bands that play similar music as well as tapping up friends in other bands, and our drummist calls them and gives them the chat We have a pretty good success rate

The chord bod 50 retails at £35 ish and is surprisingly good. Better than the odb3 IMO. The old dod bass overdrive, and bass grunge are also worth a look. they can be had relatively cheaply on eBay

Maybe the price of old DBS 7400s will drop now?

^ well said!
