It gets no more psychedelic than that |

I guess it depends what the other players are doing, as with all styles.
I think though, bass in most 70's psychedelia was just bass and an amp. Big amps!  |

This to me is the BEST combo for freakouts! |

Most of the time, bass in psych rock at that time was really barebones (or am I thinking even further back, in the 60s?). Effects were rarely used, you could make the lines as busy as you wanted, but effects were mainly for guitar and keys.
Nothing wrong with sfx usage though. I think the most common bass effect I hear in psychedelic rock is autowah though.

If you could find an original roland jet phaser(larry graham pulled insane tones out of that), or even a nice replica, i bet that would work great. in fact i'd love to have one myself..

| Exactly, and yes it was the 60s. Most common effect was the guitar player pounding on the top of his amp that had spring reverb in it. Also a lot of reverse envelope on guitar solos. Phase shifting on drums made an appearance here and there.
Lighting is as essential as music to achieve the full effect. Lots of kaleidoscope looking effects. They used to mix oil with colored water in a clear dish and put it on overhead projectors and then shake it. Tie dyed t-shirts a must and wild bass drum heads. A fun time for sure. |
