Need Help With Identifying An Effect

Hey everyone,

I'm completely useless with effects, can anyone suggest pedals that would give a sound close to the bass on this song?

(High Times by Jamiroquai)

Thanks in advance guys :D

From an interview with Stuart Zender:

Zender likes to mix up his sound with effects; he loves his Boss ME-8B, a digital multi-effects unit with choruses, reverbs, fuzztone, envelope filter, and 18 different synth-bass presets. "That pretty much takes care of everything. I've got a chorus as well, which I use to pop out some of the slaps a bit." The ME-8B has stereo outputs, which can send effects separately to the right or left channels or blend between them. You can hear this in full flight on "High Times," from Travelling Without Moving. "If you were to strip down the track, you'd see the real bass is in the middle, the fuzz is on one side, and the synth is directly opposite," explains Staurt.

So it sounds like it's actually three signals blended together, clean, synth and fuzz.
