I will go as far ...as to say...sometimes I hate "auto Bass"...I am most connected when I play left "hand" bass...

As for pedals...most "pro" pedal players use the bass pedals to accent what they are doing with their left hand....200 bpm..doesn't mean they are relying on pedals for bass...they "always" use a combination of left hand (sometimes right hand)..and bass pedals...

You guys might have talked me into picking up a set of Roland pedals..

Only problem for me...I like to stand, and I do use other pedals...sustain..a must....expression pedal..a must...and a switch pedal for harmonizer...I don't have enough feet.. ...and sitting is too boring for this young lad...
