Tuner, compressor then “blank” into combo amp?

Actually, maybe the Empress Bass Compressor and the Empress Bass ParaEQ would be a good combo. I like that Compressor and have used it before. The ParaEq is a nice eq that has high and low pass filters. And the boost would be nice for my one bass that has a lower output. Doesn't quite "fill" the board but leaves a little room for a "whim" down the road.
I just don't have a tiny board.
Mono Rise+ should anyone wonder. There is also a Mono Rise for one pedal if you really want to go minimal. Black and silver versions.
Xotic RC V2. And yes, on the active basses too. You can thank me later

An octave. I'd go with an EHX Pitch Fork, since(with a added expression pedal)you can do pitch bends(handy if practicing along with a recording that's not A-440), add octave up or down, and set it up as a detune/doubler, essentially a chorus pedal without the modulation. The compressor before it will smooth out the notes to help the unit process them.
I have a similar mini board, and my 3rd pedal is a noise gate. You'll never know if/when EMI or dirty power might hit you.
That is what I was going to suggest!One of these ?
Always On High Pass Filter | Broughton Audio
A standard Broughton high pass filter with the bypass switch removed. This design allows a more compact layout, fitting on a single pedal board rail, or even mountable underneath a pedal board.

Love it. I do that sometimes too with one of the little pedalboard risers and just run batteries.
For a minimum of control, I'd go for one of these:

Resonant Filter Equalizer
The Resonant Filter Equalizer creates unique tone control by combining a high pass filter, low pass filter, and middle equalizer. Both filters have their own resonance control, allowing a bump at the cutoff frequency, accentuating the effect of the filters. The semi-parametric middle eq includes...

For your consideration:
Not really. I would just go for a HPF, an EQ or leave it blank.

Yeah, either a mixer or a chorus pedal. If you have decent tone versatility on your bass (like treb/mid/bass knobs) and your amp (like a graphic EQ or a parametric mid), then I would skip the mixer and just go with a chorus. Played with nothing but a chours pedal (Boss CEB-3) for many, many years (but I had both a compressor and a grahic EQ available in my amp). Chorus certainly makes thing SWEET!
