The Elements isn't all together a fuzz...but it can get there....and if I were playing in that scene that would be the effect I'd be going for.

Dr Scientist The Elements
You can scroll down the main page to the Dr Scientist forum and there is even a thread called The Elements on bass or something very close to that.

Rat or tafm. Probably rat if he isn't going for huge crushing fuzz, but it's nice to have lower gain sounds and the option of killing things.

This, pretty much. Particularly the Rat Tail, to be specific.

when anyone mentions punk bass Rancid is the first thing to come to mind. MAtt is such a bad ass. The epitome of punk bass
