Slight derail, could someone post some songs with bass delay? Not One of These Days, though. I already know that one.

Don't have a real answer, but the only reason I've got a delay on my board for bass is because it's in a feedback loop.

My minimal setup is really only two non-tuner pedals, but I've never really cared for compressors or most modulation on my bass.
1. Tuner - I like my pitchblack
2. Rusty Box - on all the time I never play without it anymore. Last show I only took my Rusty and Fuck
3. Fuzz - I run either an Arc Flash (in black) or TAFM
4. Mod - whatever works for you I guess. I'd choose a ring mod

I have:

Korg Pitchblack
T-Pedals Overboost
Wren & Cuff Pickle Pie B
Boss PH-2 Super Phaser

Works for me! Thought about adding my Nimbus but I play with three guitarists and it seems to get lost.

You could also get an M5 to cover the tuner and non-fuzz stuff and then get a whole ton of fuzz.

What the fuck you gonna do with delay on bass?

Here:

Tuner
Fuck OD
Bass Bloom

Done.

C

If I were going to do a serious minimalist board, this is where I'd be at.

B3K or The Elements for OD/Disto
Pickle Pie B or Depth Charge for fuzz
IE Xerograph Deluxe for modulation
Boss DD-3 for Delay.

That's it. Fuck tuning. Tuning is for bitches.

Also delay sounds good with bass. DUh that's why you'd need it CBA.

for your girl: overdrive -> fuzz -> tuner-> trem/chorus/delay/something fun

personally: overdrive -> pt2399 based delay -> glitchy fuzz -> huge fuzz -> trem

For what it's worth, I LOVE the Sea Machine on bass, and you can get some great faux-'verb/slap-back delay sounds out of it. If you were looking for just one modulation pedal on bass, that'd be the one I'd suggest.

Thanks again everyone! Man I have a lot of options to consider and look into (afternoon with YouTube and a couple of beers, aw yeah).

I'll also spend some time running her bass through my own not-small pedal collection.

I'll keep everyone updated and will take some pics of whatever ends up being the result. You guys are the best.

My Current Minimal Bass setup

Groove Regulator is awesome!

For a while, I ran a hyper minimalist setup that was

Boost->Rat->M5

My tuner was currently broken, and the M5 sometimes was in a feedback loop, but I could still (and just may) gig with that set up.

I agree. Particularly if you are listing Cure/Smiths. When I think of those bands recordings I think of that 80's over compressed sound A lot of people [who are wrong] think of a comp as something to fix your playing dynamics... Not so it is a effect that has many uses for tone shaping

So

for a basic:
Tuner [if you must]
Comp [either at beginning or end] [Demeter, Orange squeezer clones, old MXR Limiter are my faves]
fuzz [too personal]
trem/chorus or phase [season to taste]
filter [old DODfx25 or bassballs, MXR]
delay
you can do most things with that really..
