Shellac are great live. Where did you see them?
Brooklyn. Despite being a fan for over a decade, it was only my second time seeing them. They never tour! Last time they played around here was 4 years ago (went to that show as well).

Get yourself a Tronographic Rusty Box pedal, a good poweramp and a Mesa Boogie EV loaded Diesel 2x15 (or pair of 1x15) and you'll be good to go for getting the Shellac bass tone.
I heard great things about the Rusty Box. The amp is the hard part. I travel by subway, so my gear is alway the house amp or my 1x12".
I've only gotten to see Shellac once. You're right, they rarely do tour.
I have a Rusty Box and it's a great sounding pedal. Bob Weston was saying that he took the Rusty Box to Europe with him and used it with a rented Ampeg SVT4 and 8x10 and he still got his sound from just the bass and pedal into a different amp rig, so don't sweat the amp too much if that's the sound you're after.
