Can't go wrong with a multi-effects pedal from a well know company like Yamaha or Peavey I guess. it depends what kind of effects you want.

Actually sometimes you can fix this with new strings, but that is not too often the case. If it is something like a Johnson, Harmony, etc, it may be imherent in the guitar. Try those things in that order. Hope this helps.

However, if you ever use different string gauges, you should check your intonation (make sure the 12th fret is right when your open string is right). And both. The strings and the types of pickups you have will define your sound. In response to Robert, everything you said is true (amps can change your sound, and changing your amp setting can also change your sound... I recommend putting the bass and trebble up and the mid-range down). However, the strings do change the sound of your instrument. On my bass I use D'Addario strings, and I love them. Along with Rotosounds they are probably the best strings. Also, every four to six months, I recommend changing your strings so they don't sound too dull. When your done playing you should wipe your bass off with a cloth to get off dirt and every couple weeks wipe it down with a multi-surface cleaner that can clean metal and wood. Yes they will work.
