Most important is a tuner pedal. It helps you tune your bass, and playing in tune is very important. A compressor pedal makes loud stuff quieter and quiet stuff louder which helps to even out your sound. A chorus pedal splits your sound and detunes & retunes one of those signals very slightly, this can add shimmer and depth to your tone. Distortion and fuzz add grit to your tone. Any pedal other than the tuner can make your bass sound crappy if they’re overused or used poorly.
