This is what I'm using .. Dunlop 105q bass wah, tweak fuzz, mxr octave, mxr delay. Mxr chorus, ISP technologies DECIMATOR noise reduction... Mxr boost line driver and mxr 10 band Eq..

What would be proper effect order for optimum bass tone

I have reverb but that is being run through a send and return loop on my bass head...

Thanks much !!

Ther's tons of threads like this... There is no proper order, experiment!
Normaly though you would see something like this:
Eq>Octaver>Wha>Chorus>Delay>Noise Reduction with the Fuzz before the Wha or behind the Chorus or in between.

I'd go Decimator, Delay, Boost, Chorus, Fuzz, Octave, EQ, Wah.

but not actually
 
Experiment!!!!!

I'd start with this:

- ISP technologies DECIMATOR noise reduction (though I'm not a fan of gates)
- Mxr boost line driver (though you may not need this with the EQ)
- mxr octave
- Dunlop 105q bass wah
- tweak fuzz (I had a tough time getting a decent sound out of this)
- mxr 10 band Eq (I put it here to try to massage a better tone out of the Fuzz, but it may work better before it)
- Mxr chorus
- mxr delay
