I'd go tuner into compressor and get rid of the other three, but that's just me...

Crater said:The envelope filters - BassBalls and the Bass Synth wah, are affected by the signal level, so I'd put those before compressor and micro amp.
Tuner --> BassBalls --> Synth Bass --> compressor --> MicroAmp
Why are you using the microamp? It could go first in your chain, depending on what you're trying to achieve. But unless your bass has low-output pickups or you're using a long cable between your pedalboard and your amp, you may not need the MicroAmp, espcially since the compressor will provide buffering. If the micro amp is being used as a boost for solos, then it should be last in the chain.
I think it has been determined that opinions such as that do not belong in the effects forum. It's as if someone on a bass guitar forum says we are dumb for playing bass when everybody knows that the best bass lines are made on keyboard. Not helpful.
From the FAQ sticky:
What order should I put my effects in?
The only right answer is - it depends.
Here are some useful links discussing the various factors to consider when ordering your pedals:

Make sure you put the tuner last....
I'd personally go tuner> compressor>Bass balls> wah>amp
