How to get that solo-y sound?

I want to get that “dreamy” sound from a lot of bass solos that I’ve seen on youtube. Is this Chorus + reverb?

Example:
Toni Braxton - Unbreak My Heart (Alip Ba Ta Fingerstyle Arrangement)

There is definitely a nice reverb on this.

Marcelo is dubbed “The Bass Wizard” for a reason. Yes, he’s using some sort of chorus, but he’s also playing harmonics, tapping, and chords. He’s an absolute beast.

Him, Ivan Carranza, and Nathan Navarro are some of my favorite bassist on YouTube.

He’s definitely using a nice lush reverb. I didn’t hear chorus there personally, you never know though.

I didn’t either. If it’s there it’d have to be super subtle.

I love Nate! Marc give me some kind of weird street magician vibe :joy:

It’s also sounding more layered and lush because he’s playing a low note on the B or E string and letting it ring out while he continues on the higher strings.
