a few months ago i bought an ehx memory boy and i find myself never using it i can't really think of any times where a bass player uses delay. i need some motivation so i can use this pedal!
I only ever use delay for special effects, ends of songs, dubby repeats at the end of phrases, etc. I did once use a tap-tempo'd delay loop to play my part during a guitar solo while I went to the toilet but I wouldn't recommend that. The guitarist didn't even notice I was gone until I came back.

The old Porno for Pyros song "Pets" has delay on the bass during the intro and outro. Porno For Pyros "Pets" - YouTube And Ima Robot's "STD Dance" has delay on the bass (plus phaser and palm muted picking) throughout the song. Ima Robot - STD Dance - YouTube Love that track, JMJ's playing is phenomenal.
