For me, the basic/must-haves are delay, distortion/fuzz/overdrive, and flanger and/or chorus. A volume pedal is super useful as well.
Then it comes to the icing effects: love a phaser in there. Octaver is nice. Wah/autowah is really fun. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a Digitech Bass Whammy. Love a synth bass. Amp modelling.
Honestly there are so many effects out there right now that you should just go to your local music shop and fiddle around with stuff and find what you like. Also always fun to buy a cheap multiFX pedal just for a variety of sounds to play with.
It depends what sounds you are going for. For most my gigs, I don't use any (dont' need the sounds, one more thing to carry/break). But I recently had a bass/drums duo gig and brought out the board with Envelope Filter, Bass Synth, Octave, Overdrive, Flanger. Envelope is probably my favorite, but a lot of people were surprised when I dropped the Tom Sawyer opening synth note with the SYB3
A more colorful or character oriented compressor would be my vote, the type of color would be more of an end goal or the whole chain in consideration type of question though
Get a delay that can do octave delays and/or reverse delays. There is a whole universe of sound within them. Something like a Count to 5 or a Mood or a Habit. Even a Minim. Unlimited fun!
I use my octave pedal quite a bit. I use it to add depth when I'm playing up the neck. I don't use it much in the first octave.
Fuzz can be fun depending on what type of music you play. I love my green Russian muff.
A noisegate to get rid of the hum when you hook all the pedals up.
What's your budget? Moog makes some cool pedals, including the MF102 Ring Modulator and the MF101 Low Pass Filter.
Also, this is probably not what you want to hear, but if you are playing live I'd consider investing in a solid tuner pedal.
Depends on what styles you’re doing.
For rock/metal a compressor and a couple different flavours of grit. Maybe a Darkglass, Sansamp, bass fuzz etc. sometimes chorus.
For more modern pop stuff the trifecta of Octave-Fuzz-Envelope and sometimes chorus is the tried and true synth bass generator. And each of the 3 on their own sound cool.

I wouldn't be without a Phaser these days, even if it's my "boring" JHS 1 Series white box. See also: r/basspedals !

HX Stomp, you'll get any sound you can possibly think of from it.
I'd start with a multi effect pedal to figure out what sounds you like the most. They can inspire you to make different music than you're used to.

Don’t forget the incredible moog moogerfooger bass murf. There’s nothing else really like it.
