He was playing a Mac laptop running something called Trillian (not the IM client). It sounded like a bass. But he rolled off all the highs and high-mids, probably a habit formed early in his career when the bass samples available weren't that great, and which is kind of his signature sound. I just did an entire live show last night, in fact, as a bass player, running a Pedulla gigastudio sample I found for free on the intertubes. I had to edit a bit (I didn't like where the velocity cutoff points were), but it worked out well. It locks up periodically on my EEE when I run Beatrix too, but I got to play a real B3 so I killed beatrix, and I had no issues running LinuxSampler along with MonoSynth, CAPS plugins, Fons's autowah, CALF tape echo, etc. Now I am learning how to EQ a bass for a live room. I was told (halfway through the set, unfortunately) that I needed to scoop out 250-500Hz on my amp to avoid creating an awful muddy mess. It worked. Onward and upward. -ken
