Have you ever tried playing bass through an Octavia pedal? I've used a 
"Jimi
Hendrix Octave Fuzz" on guitar, and, like an octave divider, it works best
if you play one note at a time using the neck pickup with the tone rolled
all the way down. But it has the additional restraint of working only when
you play near the 12th fret. Never tried a pedal like this with a bass, but
it might work.
