Effects Pedals



Does anyone know of an effects pedal that can make an electric bass
sound more like an upright acoustic?

I play in a Bluegrass/Folk (or "Folkgrass") group and I would like to
get that thuddy upright sound out of my electric (Fender Precision
Bass). I've been able to get a fairly decent "upright-ish" tone by
palm muting the strings and plucking with my thumb, but I'd rather
play with my fingers, if possible.

If there is a pedal out there made specifically for this sound or if
anyone has stumbled onto this sound by tweaking on another type of
pedal, please let me know.

Thanks,
Rootsy Collins
