Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Hi. First post here. I’m guitar player for 20+ years but since a few months I started learning Bass. Previously I only did bass tracks with pick for my music, but now I’m learning proper bass playing 
Here is my bass board. I have a guitar pedalboard which is big and heavy so I wanted to have my bass setup as compact as possible. Still looking for proper bass compressor but for now it’s like this.

I have some good news about bass compressors: Testing Compressors: Cali, Smoothie, Empress, Diamond, Keeley, FEA, Darkglass, Doc Lloyd, JHS & more
Thanks. I already checked some of your reviews! Good stuff! There is a chance I’ll get MXR M87 from my friend soon. I think it’s good enough for the start.

Not my reviews, but I find this thread very useful and entertaining. Since @bongomania stopped updating the compressor reviews at Compressor Reviews, @scubaduba has picked up the torch and reviewed dozens of new compressors. I've bought a couple more than I need.
Update: Just got the Uber Bee in. Totally dig it.
Yes, will do as soon as i get my reddi back from maintenance
Made this board out of 2mm strips of aluminum, riveted together, velcro on top. Extremely flat profile. It was designed to fit perfectly inside my Gator bass case, so power is supplied by just a daisy-chain and a 1-Spot.
Small board two and three. I like this way, couple of pedals that work well with each other and I don’t run into power issues or dead cables. I’ll finish cabling everything over the
weekend
Here's my small contribution .... Cali76CB => Boss CEB3 (used infrequently) => Noble DI.
usually hitting the front end of a Mesa WD800 into a Berg CN212.

This setup is a lot of fun. Diamond + blueberry = awesome!
Update I managed to cram the OC-2 on it as well. Now i have all my needs on the little nano!

You might get better results running the OC2 before all that dirtUpdate
I see what you mean. But in an upcoming tour i only use the OC2 on one song with only the Barbershop set to very sublte. Compressor is on too so tracking is no prob. I decided to put it last so the Uber Bee doesn’t have two buffered pedals in front of it.
