Haven’t seen a topic like this on here yet, so maybe this one is it. What pedals/effects are you guys and girls using for your Bass, if any? I like my unaffected tone just fine, but it's fun to spice things up and play around a bit. It doesn’t matter what kind of bass you play, just curious as to what pedals/effects we all got.

I’ve got:

Fulltone Bassdrive Mosfet
EHX Little Big Muff
EHX Stereo Electric Mistress
Digitech Bass Synth Wah
Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive

The Digitech BSW pedal I picked up today. So far it seems pretty cool, I can make a lot of new sounds with it.
The Boss I just got last week from a garage sale for $10. Couldn’t pass that up. I do not like it at all. Gonna Pass it on to a friend.
The next few pedals that I am thinking about are the Pigtronix Disnortion and the Prescription Electronics Depth Charge.

What about the rest of you?

I own quite a few, among them:
    Fulltone OCD
    Boss SD-1
    Digitech Bad Monkey
    Ibanez TS-9
    Dunlop Crybaby
But lately, I have been using only my Boss ME-20. Seems to have just the few things I need...

FWIW I recently tried out the Digitech Bad Monkey and felt that the sound I got from it was similar to some of the sound from the Fulltone Bassdrive. This was only from about 5 minutes or so playing around with it.

Many years ago I used a ROSS Phaser on some songs I played. I also used a Flanger too. But I don't used any effects although i have thought about it I have no need for it for the stuff i do now. Just a plain straight bass sound.

I have the Ashdown Dual Compression pedal I got on close out at MF...I never use it. I like my bass signal clean, any break up I want I can get by digging in and pushing my head.

Usually I use nothing but just a preamp - Sansamp Bass Driver, rarely overdriven.
Ocasionally I use my guitar effects like: boss digital delay DD5 and Dunlop Crybaby.
With the delay "One Of These Days" by Pink Floyd sounds great.

But playing with the gruop - as the section - I use no effects, the bass is the bass and it needs nothing else. :)

:D :D I use a boss blues driver pedal with my jazz basses for a nice Cream style overdriven ampeg svt sound. I also use a marshall vibrochorus with my p basses for tunes like Strangle hold. These pedals go thru a fender bassman 250/115 amp.
