Rusty Box is a good choice... so is the Darkglass B3K, which is what I use after trying several alternatives.

Looking for Specific Distortion

I'm gonna say the Iron Ether Oxide would be a good choice. Very articulate, versatile and cutting fuzz. Active friendly, seperate clean and fuzz volumes, adjustable gate, mid boost, awesome tone control, high-pass fuzz switch, small footprint....
Definitely worth checking out....and I'm sure it would kill with a fretless.

source audio bass distortion pro? Can go from clean boost to fuzz tones, octave up distortions, and has 22 voices on tap. There is an EQ section that only effects the distortion. You can save 6 preset distortions on tap. Also some voices have the capability of splitting the signal into separate frequency bands and distorting each separately.
Clean mix/distortion mix/drive amount/eq amount (how much your eq curve effects the distortion).
Very crisp and clear but does have a digital sound.

I know...that pedal's kinda pricey. but it would be worth the dough if you can find one. I think you might get the same results purchasing a metal distortion pedal like the boss metal zone or the digitech hardwire TL-2 metal distortion pedal along with a blender pedal like the boss LS-2 line selector. I'm not quite sure about that, but if you're able to purchase pedals like these, give it try and see what results you get.
Iron Ether QF2
-4 bands of fully sweepable fuzz/distortion
-clean/dirty blend
-3x OR 10x (?!?) boost
-as many toggles as you could ever want to give you a fully tweakable dirt pedal
Your shopping is over. You're welcome.

My QF2 is being shipped to me..YAY! the 3x/10x gain boost seems like it will be super usuable.
It is. I like to set my drive settings rather low for light crunch, and then kick in the 3x for a heavier version of the same settings. And the 10x...lets just say you will never need more than 10x. Pure face-melt.
I've been using a Fulltone Bass-Drive for about 6 months now and I absolutely LOOOOVVVVEEEE it. It keeps the low end in the mix pretty good, and has lots of different tone shaping options, also sounds killer on a guitar. Basically a Full-Drive 2 but with an extra lower octave for bass.
