I was recently referred by another TBer to this pedal: https://reverb.com/item/79497-noisemaker-effects-nebula-2014-aluminum
Noisemaker Effects seems to have a pretty large range of what seems to be high-build quality pedals. I'm super intrigued because of the low price range but haven't been able to find any reviews for bass. That being said, I've found that time-based effects all work pretty well for bass with little to no low end suck.

The Red Panda Context sounds amazing, and has a delay + reverb setting. I only sold mine because I am a preset junkie, and just use my Space.
EHX Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai - particularly good for bass since it has a filter knob to roll off the low end from the wet signal to stop your sound turning to mush. The 'Decay' knob is effectively a reverb.
The looper is great fun to use also with it's reverse and pitchshifting features.
Only downsides are the blend control - it goes between 100% dry to 100% wet. For typical delay uses it's ok, but when set to 50/50 for a typical looping application you will experience a volume drop. Also it introduces a bit of digital noise if used on a daisy chain with other pedals.

I too dig the Dispatch Master. The Boss Space Echo and RV series are great pedals as well (the guitarists in my band use them), although I haven't tried them specifically on bass.
I use my Boss RV-5 and DD-7 in conjunction with my bass. . . .just as I do for my electric and acoustic guitars.
I find those two pedals are necessary in every signal chain to "wet" my tone. Not too much, just give the tone some character so it flows.

YES! this is what i have used for months and it still blows my mind. i suggest you take a looksie.
Yes to both Dispatch Master and Context.
Both are really good.
DM is smoother, Context is louder.
For a more aggressive effect, I'd go with the Context.
For a smoother, more subtle ambiance, Dispatch Master.
The Context didn't kick the DM off my board, but it was close.

The Strymon El Capistan has a great sounding Spring Reverb that can be blended in anytime. I will also 2nd the EHX Hazarai- if not for the volume drop issue I would still be using it.
Thank you for all the input.
I ended up ordering the EQD Dispatch Master. thru Musicians Friend
Had to buy 9V supply separate, but the nice person taking my order found an "unadvertised" discount that essentially gave me the 9V free
the pedal should arrive and i will give it a spin
thanks again for the help TB'ers

FYI,
Some of the one's listed above are major tone suckers.
Thinned out guitar so I definitely wouldn't be using them on Bass unless it was a total "effect" tone or used with an Aux send.
The Space Echo in particular.
