Hi Chris

Playing bass with the left hand depends on a few things. Number one the
sound engine needs to be close. The CD that Bob spoke of was a vinyl record
I did in 1976. The bass unit was made by Wersi Electronics. This was run
thru a real bass amp. The most important thing to make it right is this.
Forget everything you know as a keyboard player. The left hand must become a
separate person. You then pluck slide & do turn arounds like a bass player.
You must forget playing with a flat finger style. I was taught to anchor
with the thumb & trill with the middle finger & grab low notes with the
pinky. This will give the effect of a bass player walking up the strings for
the turn around at the bottom. Tell the left hand THINK Bass all the time
