I've got that on DVD... great stuff. I've been a fan since I first heard the tune on the radio when she first hit the scene!

That is a great bass tune from them... but I've always preferred this groove http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNswoClryAM

I've watched that DVD hundreds of times but always wondered what that bass with the F holes is he plays towards the end of the show. Anyone know what kind of bass this is?

I have been VERY, VERY forunate to have spent "time" with the members of Sade when they are in LA. Paul does live and call LA home, yet also has a home in London. The bass Paul uses as of late is a Gretsch bass. I am not sure the strings, i would assume Rotosounds cause he uses them in his Stingrays. Anything that guy plays....well the proof speaks for itself ......"awesome" !!!!

Denman is one of my favorites. Absolutely solid.

She is probably one of the only original Blitz kids besides Spandau Ballet to still be making music!
