If you've heard of the "big muff" by electro harmonics, I'd recommend picking that up. It's simple, gain/tone. But it does not sacrifice any of the low end, but give it a nice crunch, or mellow overdrive if you'd like. They make a smaller version of it. I recommend the ORIGINAL big muff. It's awesome. Chris wolstenholme of muse has had this in his rig before, that's where I heard of it. Great little pedal. Don't know if they still sell them though.

It's truly when I found *MY* sound - I was always an Effects Guy but hated how my Clean Bass tone suffered so... especially back before True-Bypass units made their comeback. Luckily, I along with 10 other players lacked onto SWR's Mo' Bass/Mini Mo' line with inboard effects and the ability to split your outputs to both pre-and- post-EFX with the push of its "Dual Mode" button. And you're right, adding just a touch of grit when you still have a clean cab is killer in a band setting. :D
Very nice demo (as well as tone & playing also!) I've had an Avatar 2x12/2x10 that I run for my unique clean/dirty setup (clean signal goes to the 12s, dirty to the 10s so I can use my effects without losing traditional "bass" in the mix) and have been so impressed by both the sound and build quality compared to "The Big Guys" that I plan to pick up one of *each* of Dave's line for a "Mix 'n Match" setup depending on the gig - a 4x10/2x12 Big Rig down to a two 1x12 "Clean/Dirty" MicroStack.

I love this idea of running clean and dirty sounds together. I plan to try this next. I read the guy from "Rage Against the Machine" does this and I'm sure a lot of guys in rock do now. The problem I've always had with effect boxes is the regular bass sound suffers and so does bass presence in the band. Running a good solid FET type sound and a tube growl sound separate is brilliant I think. I gotta try that! It may not sound great on its own but within the band it could be very good.
