Hi Ian

Glad to see you back now that you have eased into a full life of leisure.

To demonstrate between a live bass play and an arranger style here is a video from the late 80s featuring Curt Prina on the Wersi Spectra, (Judging from the lines it was done using a VHS recorder (That�s got the young un�s confused) and its own mike) turn the bass up and see how he weaves the bass line into the song which is something a repetitive style just cannot do. (And that includes styles that include looped audio loops)

Enjoy

Bill
