Does anyone ever use tremolo on a bass?

I'm surprised everyone here missed the most famous example. Pink Floyd's One Of These Days is built around a slow tremolo on the bass and feeding that into a delay. (at least the back half of the song)Last edited by beaubrummels; 09-16-2021, 12:29 PM.

Been using an Earthquaker Devices Night Wire on my bass board lately. That one is a game changer. Not only is it a terrific harmonic tremolo, but it offers a range of control that is uncommon.
This thing gives me the ability to control the speed of the trem with my playing dynamics, and by extension, my volume control. It's pretty wild and opens up rhythmic possibilities that were previously unavailable to me.

I have 4 Basses, and 18 pedals capable of Tremolo. They have somehow never crossed paths...

The name is awesome
I have never used the effect on bass. I'd love to hear it though.

Kahler USA still does make several bass trems. They are quite expensive. He may mean that it’s not a factory option anymore.

I used to use a tremolo patch on a Zoom multi effect processor like 20 years ago.
The originals band I was in gave me a lot of freedom to play with effects since we were a trio and there was a lot of sonic space to fill. One song in particular used the tremolo heavily as the basis of the main bassline. Other times, I would kick it on along with other effects for weird rhythmic breaks in songs. (We did a lot of freak out, stoner type improvisation.)
Funny enough, I have been thinking about bringing tremolo back into my effects chain and I just finished building a tremolo pedal 30 minutes ago.
Got on here to see if anyone else used tremolo with bass and BAM! there's this thread right at the top.
I'm buying a lottery ticket tomorrow!
