This may have come up somewhere here before but I was wondering which Madbean distortion project would work well for a bass. I'm thinking of building a pedal board for my bass with just a few effects.
Hard to beat the Slow Loris (Rat). Very versatile.
I always loved the RAT and a Tubescreamer on bass for some nice grit and Russian Big Muff for the fuzzys.
Runt, Green Bean and Mudbunny..
Build them all!

Russian big muff is awesome. I found the tube screamer to be a bit thin as is. I love the big bass overdrive that JMK has, or the BYOC bass overdrive. They sell PCBs separately in some of their projects.

I second the rat. I used to have one of those ToneLock (?) Tubescreamers and it was great on bass. I'm not sure how different it was from any other screamer though.
Also, If you check in the group buy section someone was selling boards for a bass over drive recently.

I should have prefaced my answer with, of course, it's all subjective as far as your personal preference to your sound, but yeah, the tube screamer does scream in bass also.

The wolfshirt also sounds great on bass.
Whichever way you go, wiring up a blend control somehow (maybe a simple buffer on a little piece of perfboard to go before the circuit and split the signal?) would be a great thing for a bass version of any of those pedals, I think.
