Modulus Quantum 5! I'll always be a StingRay guy, but oh my lord the Modulus is the best playing bass I have ever touched, and the tone is to die for!

A Fender Jazz 24. Became my other #1 soon as I got it. I needed a quality 4 string, and it fit the bill perfectly.

iPad. I also finally bought a single-neck bass guitar, but so far that hasn't made nearly as big a difference. The iPad has been a huge upgrade over keeping lyrics and charts on paper.

I got an android tablet. Similar to the person above me, it has really changed how I bring music to rehearsals and gigs. No more binders, no more lost bits of note paper with chords scribbled on it. I also use several apps to practice reading music too.

I got to say that the best bass I bought this year was a G&L ASAT. I love th e electronics, feel, and everything else. I also rediscovered DR Lo-Riders which was pretty nice.

The piece of kit that I bought but have yet to try is a P-Retro. Waiting for my P-bass to be finished before it goes in.

Same here. I played with a pick a million years ago when I initially learned to play bass. Since then I have only played without picks; mostly index-middle finger picking but also some thumb slapping.

My new 3 piece band requires me to play the bass more agressively with a pick to hold down parts where there might normally be a guitar. This helps me do that, it gives me more attack.

I am using grey Dunlop 1.0 picks with lots of the grip dots.

edit: I don't play all songs with a pick, just the ones that fit.

Zoom B3
Spector NS2A (white with upgraded electronics)
The Zoom has become not only a great stand alone effects processor but a super practice tool with its on board drum patterns.
The Spector is something I've been looking for since I sold mine in 1988.
Have purchased a few other items but these would be the standouts.

I bought a lot of new gear in 2012, but my Barefaced S15 is definitely the winner.
