Does anyone ever use tremolo on a bass?

Justin Chancellor of Tool uses one. The intro to Right in Two (you might confuse it for guitar, he’s also using his bass whammy) and also Lost Keys (feedback, again can be confused for guitar) have tremolo.

I have a Boss TR-2 I low using with my fretless Warwick. I probably wouldn’t bring it if I was actually playing bass with someone, though.

Nice. I'll have to listen to that again in the morning when I can crank it a little louder. He's using a fairly fast modulation there. Now I gotta play with that.

I've heard some live versions that didn't have as fast modulation, too.

Billy Sheehan....and he used a Kahler...a real trem...

I was going to mention Les Claypool uses a Kahler.

According to Billy they no longer make them for bass. A shame.

Too bad there is no way to find out.

I see what you did there. Ok. I'll plug my bass into my guitar amp, and dial up up some tremolo. I'll report back.

Smiths - How Soon is Now...or maybe that was just guitar, but somebody had a cover with bass tremolo? I forget

No. All comments are welcome. We can discuss both. And both, are unusual for bass.

Chis Squire used one on Yes' "Starship Trooper", though I don't know if he did it with an amp or pedal or what.

To be clear, I'm talking about amplitude modulation, like the knob you'd see on an amp. Not the mis-labeled vibrato arm on a Strat.

I don't think I've ever seen "tremolo" on a bass amp, or ever heard a song that had it. I wonder how it might sound? Anyone ever done it?
