Chorus Pedal for Bass?

For good old fashioned Cure-type as well as 70's fusion fretless-type bass chorus my Boss CEB-3 has worked well for years, if you want all kinds of other sounds then something else might be better for you though.
 
Another for the Corona. I've had quite a few chorus pedals and it's a very good one for the price. Many different types of chorus sounds, and with TC releasing the TonePrint editor it makes it even more tweakable. There's one for sales in the TB classifieds (not mine!) for a good price right now.
 
Iron Ether Polytope for something a bit different than the usual chorus. I dig mine. Frankly I am not sure how well it would do the classic Jaco fretless super-warm chorus sound since I just don't use that sound. But it had a unique set of tones built around highly controllable detuning of up to 4 different voices in addition to your dry sound.
 
I'll throw in another vote for the Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, I've had one for about 3 years and it's always done what I need it to do. I've been wanting to try out the TC Electronics Corona Chorus as well though. Both of these can be had for a reasonable price if you look around/buy used.
