There was a bit more sight-reading to be done at tonight’s band, with an arrangement of Eternal Flame by the Bangles. I’m just taking a listen back to it now and trying to figure out if the bass part on the recording is a fretless bass or keyboard with a fretless bass patch? I do remember a similar sound on one of the keyboards that we had at school round about the time the song came out and it sounds a bit too measured and inorganic to my ear for most fretless bassists (although not impossible).

Maybe I’ll dig my fretless out and see if it has the right sound although, mixed in with a whole bunch of wind and brass instruments that weren’t on the original, it probably doesn’t matter too much.
