Does anyone know what type of fuzz the bassist from Sky Eats Airplane uses for the intro to Giants In The Ocean?

I hear it in the sound that comes in at the third measure, but not the very first "duht-duht-daduht". I don't even hear a filter there, but I may be just missing it.
My guess would be that that's indeed a fuzz with a chorus. No idea what fuzz though. So. Yeah. |

I think that you could copy the tone with a Russian Big Muff Pi, or the new Bass Big Muff. Either way, I'd keep the gain and tone fairly low. |

There's definately no delay on there but a possibility of a low pass filter.
Awesome song by the way, I definately enjoy their older cd more than the one that just came out.
