reeeeeally dig the bass line in 3 and 7, when there's the little break that features it...

Oh, then you use a variant of it in Colony -- smart!

Farfisa power! How great. I had an old Combo Compact (compakt?) in college; loved that thing.

Super cool references by using the uneven phrase lengths -- awesome.

Thanks a lot Ck! I tried not to over do it with the organ part. There's a shin song on their myspace that has a similar organ sound, so, I went with it! The Scarbee pre bass plugin is fun to mess with too... I love the "sliding" of the notes on the fret board for realism...


Cheers!
