Bassists Like Tom Morello, anyone know one?

[Basschatfield]

Just wondering if there are any Bassists that play in a similar stlye to Tom Morello, with all his use of effects and just generally making amazing sounds with his instrument.

I also like to use weird effects and create new sounds with my bass, so it'd be nice to get ideas from a proffessional bassist who does the same sort of thing.

Just post a name or video link or whatever

Nathan Navarro is the closest I can imagine to your description

Brian Gibson from Lightning Bolt uses a Whammy pedal, same thing right?

Justin Chancellor.

Janek Gwizdala, Squarepusher, the guy out Dub Trio, John Davis, Shep from on here/Our Helical Mind

That sort of thing?!

Tim LeFebre experiments with effects a lot :

Juan Alderete of the Mars Volta relies very heavily on effects and is bit of a guru when it comes to using them on the bass . he even has a Youtube channel devoted to them :

Check out the big Dubstep thread for lots of inventive use of effects.

Check out this interview with Juan by Janek Gwizdala . He goes into a lot of detail about his gear and effects :

Cass Lewis certainly has an impressive range of effects.

Doug Wimbish too.

Come to think of it , he is !

[Ziphoblat]

He is the guitarist, I think the point was more about bassists who use effects in a similar way to Tom Morello does.

If that's the case, he should check out his fellow band mate Mr Tim Commerford, more often than bot he follows the same licks/riffs as Tom, and uses some great fuzz sounds among other effects

Got there before I could, exactly the two guys I was thinking of too.

Alderete uses kill switches on his instruments from time to time to cut stuff in and out of what he plays like Morello and all the great turntablists do.

Neil Mahony from Amplifier (everything up to Echo Street at least) uses a lot of effects, although not really in the same way as Tom Morello, but if you like huge interesting bass sounds he's the guy.
