Of all who replied so far, I think I may have the skinnyest toolset of all.

1. BiaB
2. Studio One (ver 5)

And although not software tools
3. My Fender Bass Guitar
4. My Korg Keyboard

I'm considering a VST or 2 but (right now anyway) I consider any tool that takes my fingers away from my physical instruments a musical net loss, with the exception of BiaB.

To be sure, I'm not certain I even know what a VST is, and there is much for me to learn but from what I've seen so far, for me, pressing a physical key or fretting a physical string is more gratifying that moving rectangles around on a screen even if my final output is unpolished and down right rough around the edges smile

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
