That and somebody was asking me on Discord or on Twitch or on somewhere about the basses used in ‘Always.’ And I went out with Jerry Finn to this place called …what was it called … Black Market …Music. It was on La Cienega …it was this place where you could buy old gear and we went there just looking for music gear and I found that bass to play on ‘Always’ cuz it was like a bass that you plug in to this giant pedal board that puts out these synth sounds (Roland GR-77b). And so that’s the bass.” The YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llpV2uw-6rY
