Not the most exciting board on here but boy does this combo sound good.

Definitely quality over quantity
I have been using ER 20s for ages, but they do get uncomfortable. I paid for some ACS Pro 17s as a Xmas present to myself. Comfortable and effective. Recommended.
Korg Pitchblack, Korg Pitchblack Portable, one in my Pod XT and another in my Korg Sound-on-Sound. I think there might be a Quiktune somewhere to or I might have left that with my ex.
It's such a personal thing. Fuzzes are very popular but I much prefer distortions. The Fuzzrocious Cat Tail sounds huge. COG and Idiotbox also do Rat clones that work great for bass.
The LMB-3 is a good, cheap utility compressor for bass (manages the dynamics but doesn't really do much for the tone). The new BC1-X looks good but I haven't tried one yet.

Seconded
Depends on how loud your drummer and the rest of the band are.
I used to get away with about 120W through 12". Our new drummer is STOOPID loud and I struggle with a Barefaced Compact with a Harte LH500 (not a quiet amp)
I've got two basses (US Std Precision and an Epiphany Thunderbird Pro IV). I broke a string once 30+ years ago. Occasionally I'll take both to a gig so I have a backup but mostly it's one or the other depending on the gig and how I'm getting there.
Songs from 6 different decades mean I just can't choose one. The one I've linked to on FB today though is "Everyone Says Hi" just because I thought most people would go for classics
If you like the sound of the Roland Jazz Chorus then a valve amp may not be what you're after.......
For recording I'd go with 51m0n's recommendation. Once you've got a great signal recorded you and always re-amp that if you want a more coloured tone......
