Using a chorus pedal made for guitar on bass

so, I've been wanting to get a chorus pedal for a long time. But the pedals are close to $100, and I don't have that cash. I've been noticing that guitar chorus pedals go for much cheaper. How much of a difference would it make if I used a guitar chorus pedal on bass vs using a bass chorus pedal?
Some of them work well with bass. In fact looking at cheaper options. I honestly like the boss chorus ensemble more than the bass chorus.
 
I use a Danelectro FAB chorus--works well for guitar & bass.
Not expensive at all (Got it used for $10)
I don' gig or tour, etc--so who knows how it might hold up for that--but if you don't want to spend a lot & don't need all the spacey stuff--just a good chorus or cheap--check it out.

+1 on the danelectro. I've have the fab chorus and had the cool cat chorus. they were the best affordable chorus pedals I've ever used.
