there are many ways to go with this. a wah pedal will get you some cool effects, a chorus can get you a cool-sounding vibrato, and an envelope filter some crazy synth sounds. heres a few videos:

Well like I said in the thread above, the Dunlop 105q bass wah is pretty funky. I don't know exactly what "trippy" is, but maybe you could get a wah or a tremelo, or an overdrive even. Some specifics would be nice.

BOSS ME-50B. Multi-effect, yes. But plenty of tonal mixes for the trippyness

Get a Line 6 DL4 with the expression pedal or a Boss Slicer.

If youn unsure what effect to buy then don't buy any effects until you know what you want, can spend alot of money on getting alot of cool effects. I say get a multi effect like zoom b2 or boss multi etc to start off with.
