What pedal to make a bass sound like a guitar?

[zombiesonore]

Hi everyone,
someone asked me an effect to make his bass sound more like a guitar. What circuit would you suggest?
Any advice?

How do you mean, like an overdrive or octave pedal?

Well, I think he wants the impossible ;-)
But, yes, I was thinking something like an octave up fuzz.
He was interested by a Green Ringer clone I made but I don't think this one will play nicely with a bass.

I would ask him what tonal qualities of guitar he wants on bass? Does he simply want an octave up? if so, a greenringer or something won't really work, i've stuck my bass through one and it can sound cool but it wont actually get you an octave up like a proper pitch shifter (pog, whammy)
if he does just want the octave up i dont know of any diy circuit which actually do that

Check out this info on Royal Blood's setup.  It's just two guys: a drummer and a bassist.  Hopefully, you find this relevant.
