Can any bass player out there tell me what effect Les is using starting at 18:15?

Les is probably the most outrageous bassists ever, but not on my list of best bassists. Everything he does seems centered around strangeness done on the bass. He doesn't adapt well to others and that (in my book) takes points away. Not saying he isn't great, but rather that I find others to be functionally much better.

Thank you, and I whole-heartedly agree with you.

I mean, who else plays a six string, fretless bass, without a pick, AND sings those crazy ass songs?
