Need help findin a pedal!

Have you tried some phaser? Might sound pretty good. Can get some good auto-wah/synth-like sounds from one as well depending on the model. A Source Audio Multiwave Bass Distortion might sound pretty cool if set properly.

Also, might consider a VT Bass, with the character control all the way down, for a fat dub/reggae sound. Especially if you're not using a tube amp.

No compressor. Bass and mid boost, pull back on treble. And a modest amount of delay.

In the end, no rules...if it sounds good...it's good!!
