+1 on Jungle Funk the band he did with Vinx. His solo album ' Trippy Notes for Bass' is also very cool.

Doug came into the game as a studio Bassist when there were far more opportunities that offered work in that area than being a solo Bassist or a Bassist in a band that focused on allowing the bassist to solo.

and for those who don't know(and find it hard to believe)Doug was offered the Bass chair in the Rolling Stones but turned it down and when he did that's when the Stones started auditioning Bassist.

Doug told me this years ago and I kept it to myself but he has recently revealed this publicly.

Matt Till, can you point me to some recordings/videos that show his usage of the pitch shifter? I only use my pitch shifter patch to double my lines one octave up.

Does he do it in those Youtube videos? Youtube has been slow as heck for me for months. :/

Doug, and Living Colour, is one of the reasons why I started playing bass.. Not only a fantastic player but one of the only people out there that isnt afraid to use effects in a musical manner rather than just "make noise" (although when he does, he really pulls it off)

One of the only people I'd even let touch my Modulus, let alone sign it:
