In need of some inspiration

This is my first post, but I have lurked the forum for quite a while. So hello everyone!

I have played bass for 14 years now, not always very enthusiastically but I have played in at least one band the last 10 years (I currently play in three). I studied music in "gymnasiet" (don't really know what the proper english term is, but it's the 10th to 12th year in the swedish school system), I first started playing bass in 5th grade and took lessons for two years, and my father plays the double bass.

So I have listened to A LOT of different bass players. Classmates, teachers, band members, my father. They have all given me tips on great bass players and I have found a lot of inspiration from them.

But now I have fallen in love with effects pedals. And I feel like I don't know that many good bass players who uses effects. I have heard bassists use dists, overdrives, fuzz, wahs, chorus etc etc. But mostly just one effect at a time, and seldom in more than the occasional track. I have heard Chris What's-his-name from Muse, Justin Chancellor from Tool and Les Claypool who are all, to some extent, a bit more ambitious with their use of effects. And I'd like to find some more of them.

So my question to you is:
Can you help me find some bass players who uses a lot of effects and in interesting and unique ways. In other words, help me find the bass playing equivalent of "The Edge" or Omar A Rodrigues Lopez

I'd like to try something new (at least for me). So here is a link to a collaborative Spotify playlist: Dude, you´ve got to listen to this bass player! by Palle Karlsson on Spotify

Feel free to add songs with bass players you think I might enjoy, or just answer this thread if that suits you better

Thanks in advance, guys and gals, hopefully I'll be able to contribute to this awesome forum in the future.

See ya!

*Edit* I apologize if this topic has been discussed before. I tried finding threads about this, but couldn't find any, but I might just have been sloppy in my search.

 

Hey! I really enjoyed Morphine, so thank you for the tip! And I learned to play the bass by playing along to RATM records, so I love Timmy C.

Unfortunately I live in Gothenburg so I don't know any good stores in Stockholm. But I have some friends who moved there, so I can ask them.

 

My friend said that you ought to check out Halkans! Halkans Rockhouse, Used and Vintage Guitars in Stockholm, Sweden

It's mostly guitars there, but could be worth a look

 

Thank you for the answer! I think I have to go back and listen to a couple of the guys you mentioned again. I know my Jaco, Geezer, Burton and Wooten, and Tool is something of a favorite band at the moment. But I never really got in to Rush and Yes. And I've only heard Manring play in the jam session from Bass Day in 98 (I think it was).

I feel I have a basic grasp of when to use the most common effects. And when it comes to using effects to enhance your sound and creating your tone I think that I'll have to just play around with effects for myself until I find something that suits me.

Here is a clip i found on YouTube last night:

Ambient bass guitar solo - YouTube

I thought this was kind of cool, and maybe I could try to do something like this as an intro to a song, or maybe build a post rock/ambient song around it. But that's about it. But this kind of really heavy effects usage intrigues me. I think that what I'm really asking for are tips on how to incorporate very heavy effects usage in to a band setting or in a song. And I'd like to find some bassists that try to do that.
