I'm sure some of you have seen this guys videos before. He does incredible reproductions of Jamiroquai basslines and has an incredible tone and feel.
This one is the live version of Ben Harper's "Fight For Your Mind". I might try to learn this solo now. It's pretty incredible. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...+for+your+mind
As a side note, Juan Nelson (the original bassist) uses MTD 535s pretty much all the time. I think that's an MTD you're hearing in the live solo.

What Ben Harper CD is this live version of Fight For Your Mind from? I've got out run and get it and cop some licks from that solo. |

And - I wouldn't say totally wasted, I'm sure he's been an inspiration to a number of bassists around here.

Can anyone tell me what kind of effects he's using? |

Do you know who makes a good octaver? |
