need consultation on first pedal + accessories

i just saw that it was "multi effect" and heard that it was a good place to start. is a bunch of different reverb effects bad?
Reverb is maybe an odd duck to start with on bass (I’m personally not a fan of ambient effects on bass), but I don’t know what your goals are. When you see the suggestion of a multi-effect, what is really being recommended is something with a wide variety of effect types, so you can explore them and get an idea for what you like and what you don’t, something more like a Zoom MS60B or some such.

Also, a warning: if you’re worried about cost, then get out of this forum while you still can. Run, don’t walk. This place is a money pit. A tremendously fun and inspiring money pit.
