And for those who haven't yet listened to Ken's "bass playing" be sure
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.
