Most revolutionary bassist using effects?

[zagralin_arf]

Virtually flawless technique and excellent composition

Virtually flawless=Not Yngwie.

Meaning take away The Edge's effects and you still don't have Yngwie Malmsteen.

I like Justin Chancellor, Eugene Groetsher, and Brian Cook the most these days.

Good thing! There is enough yngwei to go around. Besides, take away yngwei's guitar and then what do you have?

Al Cisneros doesn't use any crazy effects, but his near infinite stack of amps provide the mega-distortion that is heavy yet mellow enough to be appreciated for what it is.

He uses an envelope filter in Shrinebuilder, and used one in Sleep.

Also, in OM, he uses a pedal-like box to get the Tanpura sounds when they play Thebes live.

And his distortion comes from a lowly DS-1.

every now and then someone on the internet speaks something so loaded with utter truth, it causes a solar flare that wipes out a small planet.

this is an example of such an occasion.

Not a bassist, and no longer pushing the envelope. Jimi Hendrix.

definately my choice.. lucky enough to have seen lightning bolt a couple of times. biggest sound ever and good use of whammy, delay and octave.

That guy of Death from Above 1979

yes +1 for jessie from death from above 1979 and his extreem fuzzy tones

 

[Buchada Azeda]

Che Guevara. Most revolutionary bass player ever. Whether or not he played

That, sir, gave me a good laugh .

 

[tycobb73]

everyone uses effects now. except cliff williams, the only real man out of all of us.

I don't.

 

[cmewhinney]

Manring!

Check him out live- he's got a new electronic sounding piece that's just insane. And it's all live and all solo.

 

[stranded horse]

yes +1 for jessie from death from above 1979 and his extreem fuzzy tones

funny thing that the only effect pedal he uses are a chorus and a wah-wah

Les Claypool

[Chupacabra]

...

The Edge seems to be a guitarist like this (first person that comes to mind). Take away the Edge's effects and what are you left with (no offense)?
