I saw Soulive a few weeks ago (doing research, since I
am now a left-hand-keyboard-bass-player). 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.
soulive? the trio? holy god, the bass parts that their keyboard/organ
player pulls off are unreal. "Dig" from their eponymous album is
astounding in this respect (to me, at least).
