If all you had was a bass, an amp and 3 pedals, what would they be and why?

If I could only pick 3 off my current pedal board.

1. PD7
2. 105Q
3. PH-3

Those seem the most useful in the cover band I'm in.

Personally, Wah -> Overdrive -> Chorus, but I'll use a Delay as well.

At the moment, for me it would be:

Overdrive: BJF Blue Berry
Filter: DOD FX25
Delay: Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai

Im really enjoying those three for the time being.

Right now I'm playing with a synth player and a drummer, so my 3 choices would be a little different than usuall.

1) Trem
2) Mammoth
3) Moogerfooger lowpass filter

We'll see if it changes soon...

A preamp (if you're going passive), a compressor and a synth.
