Does anyone ever use tremolo on a bass?

The name is awesome

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

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