As with all filtering, use harmonically rich source sounds to get a real effect... Detuned saw waves, made into chords are good! Band pass is an effect really, rather than a tool... Although it can be used to 'bracket' sounds in the mix to stop them treading on the toes of other sounds. In this case, best to use both a low pass and a high pass filter in series to give maximum control. Most EQs allow this. A small amount of resonance will sometimes reinforce the frequencies around the missing chunks, thus compensating for the lost ones.

As an effect, well, whatever sounds good sounds good.

Odd question.
