I realize there isn't much guitar in that song and it's mostly bass, but what effects do they use to get that sort of sound? It's also the sound that you hear in pretty much any 70s or 80s funk song :)

I have a guitar with humbuckers but coil tapping, so I can get single coil sound if needed. I also have a multi-effects pedal with pretty much everything available, including wah-wah. I just can't mimick that sound but would love to be able to get close.

70s or 80s funk I'm thinking envelope follower or a phaser however that song doesn't sound like that to me. I would say cranked top boost channel on a vox with a single coil pickup in a 'middle' position between two pickups knowing queen. I don't hear much of an effect on the guitar if there is one.
