This might end up being easier than I thought. I just wrote a song using fuzz, chorus and wah. By the end of the year I'll have enough saved to get a bigger amp (I might have a chance at a Sunn soon) and some effects. Big muff, memory boy, and crybaby will be just over three hundred if that's what I go for. I'm still torn between a memory boy and a clone theory though.

Clone theory it is!
I need some kinda reverb though to get the sound I've been getting on my effects board though...

Alright the FINAL final tally.
Dunlop Original Crybaby
Electro-Harmonix Big Muff
Electro-Harmonix Clone Theory
Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano
I've been looking at vids all over youtube with these effects and it sounds like what I'm using on my Me-50B and more.

This is how to do it if you are a guitar player. Notice the pick up on the E string, with two outs into the micro pog. You could perhaps do something with the Rickenbacker stereo outs (like DFA1979) then into a micro pog (octave up) with looper and whatever else you want.

That's a little more complicated than I really need. I'm playing out of a plain old P bass so no "this pickup outputs over here through this board, that that pickup goes through the other board..."
For bass - if you're going to use a standard EHX muff, use a Little Big Muff. Much better snarl and low-end retention than the US reissue.
Otherwise, get yourself a Russian green if you can find one!

My freaky add-on board that I sometimes chain to my standard little setup has a Heliotrope, Flanger and Slow Volume. When that Heliotrope is on, you're definitely gonna be noticed. It's a recent acquisition and I'm kinda hooked.
