Well, I'm a bass player not a guitar player. If you ever want to see a
JamMan get a workout, go see Victor Wooten at one of his solo gigs.
He and J.D. lay it down. It's definitely not based on "softly spinning
layered textures of sound". It's more about groove, good ole funk, 
and incredible chops, which is not easy to tie together with a stomp
box for timing the whole thing.

I mostly use my Echoplex with a drum machine or with a live drummer. Its
great live or just for practicing, especially with a six-string. Any other 
bass
players out there?
