I've owned several Uni-Vibe and Uni-Vibe type pedals. They work well on bass but keep in mind there will be some amplitude modulation. Modulating low end probably wouldn't be a concern on piccolo bass though anyway. Uni Vibe pedals aren't popular on bass and I think it's because it's hard to find a scenario in which they sound good. Like on guitar, you have to play a certain way with them.

But that being said, I listened to some soundclips or videoclips of the Soul Vibe awhile back and was very unimpressed. It sounded like a mediocre take on a Uni-Vibe pedal. I think there are better options out there if that's the sound you're going for.

Well there are a whole lot of them. The Fulltone Deja Vibe is good. Prescription Electronics. Roger Mayer. Sweet Sound Mojo Vibe. Heck even the Dunlop Uni-Vibe is fine, I owned that and liked it. I recommend spending the extra money on one of those if you can, but if you're on more of a budget check out the Voodoo Labs Micro Vibe. They're a little different from the Uni-Vibe sound in my opinion but a cool pedal nonetheless.
