For EQ I had the Empress Para EQ and I think that's about as full featured as you'll get in a pedal. It's bell curve only (3 Q widths) so if you want shelving you'd need to look elsewhere.
If you don't need sub low control look at the two Darkglass Ultra preamps. The bass knob is centred at 100hz which is ideal for rock/metal punch but less so if you're wanting deep lows - though I'm pretty sure the Stingray EQ can do that already. I've got the B7K which is geared more towards heavier music, the Vintage would be the one for smoother sounding drive.
I'm a massive fan of analogue octave. I've got an MXR Bass Octave Deluxe and that tracks great and sounds super fat. I'd love a Cog octaver, they're UK made and well thought out - the T70 looks amazing (but T16 would probably suit most).

The pale green comp is a revelation, makes everything sound better.
The order is intentional, it makes it less easy to hit the tuner by accident when they're in a BCB-3 . (Although still quite possible!)

First in chain is the Baja Opto-Limiter (I love this!), then an Earthbound Audio Supercollider clone, D*A*M Ezekiel 25:27 clone, Catalinbread SFT clone and then either a Boss CE-20 or EXH Clone Theory chorus.
ill probably replace the Supercollider with a Multi-Rat with a blend control.
I said maybe.....
To be honest, all I need is a good octaver and compressor and I'm looking and hoping to try out both at the mo. The TC Spectracomp looks good but I need to try a Demeter. The Octaver one is proving more difficult.
MXR Distortion+ - modded to be clearer, louder, and bassier
DBA Fuzz War - incredibly powerful tone knob, the first third of which sounds amazing with bass
SS/BS Buzzz - built for bass, switchable diodes, gain levels, huge scoop toneblast, upper octave, LPF, starve control
Sounds godly- I can't really justify having it in my bass rig but for recordings it kills.

I'm not even sure there is an advantage to using the bass version of many effects.
So far the best sounding compressor pedal is an Analogman Comprosser.

It isn't my first choice for grit - if you want grit then I still think Sansamps are a good option. The BDDI/RBI pedals would be my first pick, plus they also make for a good option for straight to desk DI.
