Well they can try. As Scotty says, ya cannot change the laws of physics.
The compression driver in the talk box won't work at those frequencies, and the mouth isn't a great resonant cavity at those frequencies either.
I'd love to hear a clip. Did they release it on an album, or only do it live? What the bass otherwise effected, esp w/ distortion? That would make it much more pronounced.
I forgot:
'So-So Gigelo'- Cursive- Wah and Fuzz
'Lost'- The Cure- Chorus and Distortion
Lots Of Ben Folds ('Annie Waits', 'Army', 'Fired', 'Bastard', 'Landed', etc)- Fuzz (Big Muff)
'The First Panda In Space'- The Slip- Distortion (Fulltone Dist. Plus)

Live show I think right after they did vampires, and it was a talkbox for sure there was a tube in his mouth, to describe it it was definitely distorted but I also think he was running stereo with a clean sound as well. I just can't remember what all he was running through man =\ I was there more for the inebriated atmosphere and killer music than what he was playing through.
i thought i heard somewhere that it was two basses ...but in either case i got great results with a 300 millisecond delay + a little phase just for the hell of it!
BRAAAAAAINS!!!
Nope, gillento was right. He uses the Funky Fingers on Steam, but not Sledgehammer.

, so long ago...............
most of the effects he used actually came out of some old Boss multieffects... the ME6B or 8B or something like that.
I have the ME-6B and have been able to recreate his filter sounds but never his synths sounds. For Deeper Underground, I believe he is playing clean bass and Toby Smith is playing the synth keyboard lines.
Dennis Brown backed by ASWAD- Promised Land - vintage phaser - maybe Musitronics Mutron Phasor II or III.
Very few traditional reggae songs use any drastic effects on bass. Some newer ones employ bass synth, wah, octave dividers, etc. But usually its just that deep, dark, round, full, fat, warm reggae bass.

Macca's fuzz bass on "Think for Yourself" - Rubber Soul - may have been the first recorded example of bass with effects.
Always dug "Tell Me Something Good" by Rufus. Not sure if that's a Mutron III or wah.
