Gah! I really want one of those Super Stacks. I left Josh a note on the site. Hopefully he'll make some more.
I really really like it. Adds depth and juiciness to everything. Sounds really good through the Tone Hammer but I especially like it in to the front end of my D-800+. It's always on.
ever since i got the bassbone od all I've been bringing are that and a volume pedal (and a tuner, but more often than not i forget the daisy chain for my one spot so i just check tuning between services)
the 80hz hpf seems to remove the problem frequencies that required a compressor (and they have some sort of sub octave on me at the board anyway so if anything it sounds was less muddy losing the fundamental if most of my e string). the overdrive on the bassbone is way easier to dial in than the bass big muff i had
i like traveling light

You all are a bunch of eNOBLErs. 
I've been working on how to change my rig up a bit and that may be part of the key to adding some tube warmth. I'm closer to having a pedal sell-off to try and get that done. I won't be downsizing since I like what I have, but I have several that are ready to go to a new home as they get replaced by different things.

You might try running thru a Rupert Neve RNDI. I picked one up and it adds a little magic throughout. It may warm up the tone, but definitely adds harmonic overtones that are just wonderful.

Simple and warm...for church
They're a small chunk of change for a DI, but alot cheaper than a Noble, which I've had and thought overdid it a little. Of course I favor clean warm tone. The Neve vibe on top is perfect.

New setup from Tuesday's session
Price at this point probably isn't much of a worry. I already run the Mesa Subway Plus Preamp/DI, and in terms of cost it's not a cheap one. With all of the bells and whistles that it has, the one thing that I haven't liked is that it's a little on the sterile side. I'm sure Andy over at Mesa would disagree as well as others on here, but I feel like I have to tweak the EQ too much in order to get it to what I'd like. I'm also about to receive a Broughton SV-Pre and I've read of good success using those in front of a Noble. I'll give that a shot with the EQ shut off on the Mesa and see what sounds I get before I take the big plunge. Everything has to fit on my current pedal board and the Noble at least does that with the inclusion of extra power.
Sennheiser XSW-D Pedalboard set. I've tried the similar products from Boss, Line6, XVive, etc. and the Sennheiser is miles ahead. Unlike the rest, the Sennheiser works just fine with my active basses. The tuner works just as good or better than any tuner pedal I've tried.

Belated thanks for all the replies to my question. I must say, the thought of a VTDI appeals. I had one once, but at the time was playing through it (XLR to desk) and then out of a small Roland Cube. In a small church with very inexperienced sound guys. I genuinely felt it wasn't making much difference so sold it for the cheaper MXR M81. To be fair I don't think I gave it enough time and perhaps that setup couldn't show the VTDI's true potential either. Now that I'm playing in an ampless in-ear setup with experienced desk guys, I really think a nice cab sim could add something.
I've read a few things about the BDDI programmable, saying that the users had barely used the other presets, and given the lack of mid controls perhaps a VTDI or BDDI V2 would be a better buy after all.
This is what's I'm running. I've posted it before. I'm using the VTDI and the M87 all the time. It gets a nice grindy tone and reverb is always on. Chorus is on most of the time and delays goes on for certain stuff.
Mostly fretless.
I've begun just using this very simple setup when using my Stingray Classic 4 on fairly straight ahead Hillsong type stuff. Our sound guy and system are very good, and I don't use an amp. Still use the Bass FlyRig when the material calls for the Dingwall NG2 5.

I get a good amount of use out of an octave in a worship setting. Boss OC-2?

I love, love, LOVE my EHX Bass Clone. Chorus isn't for everyone, but I'm a child of the 80's and it's in my blood. When used subtly and sparingly, and in the right context, it's fantastic in a worship setting. I don't use it all the time, but on bridges, intros, vamping parts, those quiet, mellow parts inbetween songs or when someone is talking, etc. And the Bass Clone has the crossover so you still have a strong fundamental with the chorus on top, and you dial in our how shimmery you want the chorus with the EQ. It's been one of those "game change" pedals for me.
