If you had a Chord Sequencer you could play the verse and chorus the first time using automatic bass, switch on the chord sequencer, mute the A.Bass part and play a REAL bass line for the rest. Or leave the A.Bass part on and have two hands for the piano part (heaven help us.... TWO hands for a piano part? What next? Be able to really USE the bender? )

Just trying to point out how so many of our 'difficulties' could be solved by the re-introduction of this essential feature......
