still-young Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 What's your favourite use of bass effects in existing songs? I could find a huge list of mine, but I think number one for me has to be Colin Greenwoods fuzz bass line in Exit Music. It's only in the last third of so of the song but it's a fantastic, stupidly fuzzy tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I love the reverb Justin Chancellor uses on The Grudge when the song drops down to just bass At 1:19 https://youtu.be/EiR1hmpk-x4 Also his use of whammy? Wah? At 9:33 in this, not sure but awesome. https://youtu.be/VZXJLQntCP0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

still-young Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yeah Myxomatosis, incredible bass tone there too. And Graham, those Tool ones are freaking cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo0tsy Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Spoilt for choice but I'd go with Parliament: "P Funk (Wants to get Funked Up)" or "Rumpofsteelskin", or Bootsy's solo stuff such as "Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy Baby", pretty much that entire album but especially the title track or "What's A Telephone Bill" Effects-wise there's a mix of Mu-Tron, Morley Fuzz Wah, Mu-Tron Octave Divider, Big Muff, Roland Echoplex or Space Echo & Eventide Harmonizer (aka R2FunkU) across these songs. For more modern effects driven funk music I like a bassist called Dodge. A couple of his albums "Mutronic Injection Deluxe" & "Star Bass Invasion" are both great.

plunkrock Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Also, two massive fuzzy tones I dig that come to mind are Unsane - Only Pain (I love Dave Curran's mental Rat sound) and Castrovalva -Gold Widow (Hi Ant ) I'll stop clogging this thread up with dirt effects now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
