Your Effects "Toolbox"???

Hmmmmm......

Raven PMB-II
Raven MDB-1
Countryman DI
LR Baggs Para DI
Fishman Platinum Pro
MXR M-80
Sansamp Acoustic DI

Just in case the studio doesn't have a DI worth a %#[email protected] really want an Avalon, though...

For effects, I usually just bring in my specialty stuff, and my Boss VF-1. Experience has shown me that any "decent" studio (home or pro) will have better effects processors than any pedal I could bring in. The VF-1 works great straight into the desk, though. Anyway, here's the others:

Akai Unibass
Akai Deep Impact
Korg G5
EBS BassIQ
 
The absolute bare essential for me would be ART Tube MP and Zoom 607 or Digitech BP8 depending on the studio. For live right now I am using the Art Tube MP as a DI and also a line driver into a Boss PSM-5, EHX Bass Balls, Akai Unibass, Akai Deep Impact and Zoom 607 for everything else.
