no idea, I play at full concert volume for practice and recording. I can hear myself, everyone can hear me.
no pedals are needed unless you want a certain tone. saying what kind of tone you are looking for will help dictate what would be suggested.
there's clean bass tones in doom and death metal and dirty nasty tones. kinda need at least what sorta doom and death metal you plan on tackling or just list some of your favorite bands you love the bass tone on.
Well, I'm hoping to play a variety of genres, but yeah, let's see. Since I'm learning still, I'll probably focus on easier stuff at first, so more doom then death. But here goes.
Doom:
Sleep
Boris
Om
Bongripper
Electric Wizard
Black Sabbath
Candlemass
Atlantean Kodex
Death:
Bolt Thrower
Death
Blood Red Throne
Cannibal Corpse
Carcass
Death Doom/Gothic Rock:
Katatonia
Tribulation
Anathema
Daylight Dies
Stuff like that.

I bought a Hartke Hydrive 500 watt 2x10 combo a couple years ago, and I still love this thing. It sounds great, and it pushes some serious volume, too.
If you're looking to bring pedals into it, you might look into the newish Boss Katana bass amps. I've been thinking about doing that myself - I've long been a fan of the Katana guitar amps, so I can imagine the bass ones must be pretty good, too.
Thanks for the info. I'll look into the Hartke Hydrive gear. As for pedals it might be a better idea not to focus on that right now. But I'll save this info for later
