Get that sound - CAN'T STOP THE FEELING Justing Timberlake

I hear a bit crusher effect. Listen to the solo section in the middle of the song and it leans toward an 8-bit or 16-bit old-school style digital sample. Thoughts?

I agree with others that there is a modulation (phaser, flanger) effect in there.

I don't hear an octaver type effect, though.
 
I use a envelope filter set to low pass on my ms-60b, I think with a touch of drive.

Awesome bassline by the way, very behind the beat feel. Does anyone know if it is Adam Blackstone playing it on the record?

I saw the clip of him doing it on the academy awards and when they get to the bass solo they go into "Lovely Day." Cool clip, definitely worth checking out.
 
Would you share your settings for ms-60b?

Thanks!

I was wrong about the filter I used, this is the one I've been using on gigs. Whether it's exactly like the record I can't say but it does work well onstage
