Two other listeners over at the Stick forum report having seen him do this live with a volume pedal. That makes us three. I think the "bow sound" in the early stage of each bass note is the distortion, as it comes out when there is no string plucking sound left in the note attack. Levin is also known for using a lot of compression on the Stick (easily spotted on Elephant Talk by Crimson). However - there really is an awesome effect patch that makes a Stick bass (or normal electric bass) sound like a warm buzzing fretless double bass: The Digitech BP8 set to a patch using its "fretless simulator".
