Touring Moon Safari...

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey Justin. Just been reading you toured with Air for Moon Safari. Can I ask if you used effects for the synthy type sounds (I'm looking at 'Kelly Watch The Stars' and 'Sexy Boy'), or if you played clean bass and they used synths over the top?

If so, what effects??

I'm really digging this album lately.

Many thanks

HI there...ON Kelly, I played regular bass for part of the song, and synth bass on another part. On Sexy Boy, I doubled Roger Manning, who played the synth bass line on an MS-20, if memory serves. Had a bunch of pedals too.
