to note his use of the controller wheel to express the legato component
of good technique.
I understand the full timbre of a good string electric bass - fretless
or not, and the slapping and popping a good player employs that would
make a live performance more colorful, but Ken's work comes awfully close.
Leave that inflection out and you'd might as well just play the lower
registers of a keyboard and call it bass.

I use a bass soundfont and play it on keyboards.
It doesn't sound as good or as dynamic as a real bass player, and the difference is
especially notable live.
But NekoBee is great for bass synth sounds, as are AMS and PHASEX.
Best advice I could give is to buy a bass and learn how to play it. They're not that
expensive.

Well, the first thing that comes to mind is to play a bass line with
your guitar, <snip>
