The Red Hot Chili Peppers doulble cd, Stadium Arcadium, has a song on it called 21st Century. Flea, the bassist, uses a special effect on the song to make it more funky sounding. It sounds kinda like a duck quacking. I would like to know what the effect is.

it's probably an envelope filter.
reverb dosn't work like that.
he's playing with his fingers.
go to sams *** or guitar center and try all the the fx mentioned above.i'm prett sure you'll find it,if not you'll enjoy it anyway.
also try bass balls and a micro synth for bass,i'm sure you'll like them.

It might be on the guitar. Frusciante used hundreds of effects and editing techniques on Stadium Arcadium, I read an article about it.
Edit: Nevermind, just listened to it..it is the bass. I aint sure what effect though.

Flea uses a method of playing called "slap bass." The effects used are just compression and a little bit of reverb. Nothing out of the ordinary.
