What pedals should every bass player have?

Whilst there are many great bass FX pedals out there, four essentials that most players own are: tuner, compressor, octave, and overdrive/distortion.

Do guitar effects work on bass?

There are many guitar FX that DO work on bass - some even have separate inputs for both Guitar AND Bass - but it's usually a better idea to buy pedals specially designed to cope with a bass guitar's lower frequencies.

How do I make my bass sound deeper?

A Sub-Harmonic Generator - such as an EHX POG, or the MXR M288 - adds an extra octave below what you play on your bass, giving you a much deeper, and richer overall sound.
