Since funk bass is all about the slap much of the time, a pedal pre and a rack amp (bridged to mono) would suit most of my needs.
Maybe a few effects, like compression, chorus, auto-wah (envelope filter).
Used rack amps are like potato chips in pawn shops and music stores.
A good used one will cost about $200 US, allow for bridging to mono (combining the power of both channels), and take high-impedance inputs.
Eddie Coryell, a friend of mine who passed away, was a wizard on standup and electric.
Of all things, he used a Behringer head combined with a QSC amp.
The Behringer was the preamp, and the power section drove a 2x10 with a piezo tweeter. The pre out went to the rack amp for a 2x15 JBL.
He covered everything from Memphis R&B to jazz to country. A Musicians Institute grad, who became an instructor.
