Any boutique stuff or vintage pedals that I may be missing?

EBS OctaBass for the octaves. It rules.
Distortion, honestly, I love my Boss ODB-3. I've yet to find another pedal that has so much dynamic range in the distortion. Want it to sound like a preamp of a tube bass amp? Easily done. Wanna make it totally over the top? Easily done.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke.
Hartke BassAttack: Weak. The "shape" button is great, and the ability to have the XLR out is great and all, but it's a VERY VERY mild overdrive. I wouldn't even call it a distortion.
I've got an old Ross Distortion that I was using on my board for a while. The only reason I took it off was because it's old and I don't want it to get destroyed being packed in and out of smoky and dirty clubs. That pedal sounds AMAZING for bass. You're gonna have to ebay hunt for it, but it's great. It's a black pedal with yellow writing.
