techniques for applying delay and reverb to wobble?

I want to apply a little bit of delay and reverb to a bass wobble.
Except when I do everything turns into a muddy mess.
I've tried things like separating the sub from the wobble and only applying it to the midrange which improved it greatly but I'd still like to know what other techniques do people use out there. Whats the best way to do this?

you gotta hi-pass yr delay for sure if you don't want that mud

try a noise gate, this tends to prevent unwanted frequencies lurking around the tune after a given threshold...i'd apply to mid range as opposed to sub frequencies though...that could get a little messy

keep original signal dry, send to a bus and filter eq then apply the verb or delay to taste

use short notes so the delay cant merge with the bassline you made.

Have the delay/reverb on a send and put a compressor after it. Use the bass as the sidechain input on the compressor so that when the bass note plays, the delay/reverb ducks and then comes in after the note has finished.

i like to use a 1/3 delay with the dry/wet knob turned to about 25% so you just get a little tail of a echo at the end of each note. keep it subtle.

try a really short delay (like 0.2-.10 ms) on the mid part. not really a classic delay sound but can make it sound quite phat.
