Does anyone know

1. Is the bass on Dr. Dre's 2001 played by a human being or programmed?

2. If its a human, who is it?

I really think that album has some of the best hip-hop basslines ever written.

I think that some of it was done by Mike Elizondo

Yeah I saw an interview with him where he said he used real musicians for that album. I'll try and find it for you

cool. thanks. this is an argument me and a friend were having, he thinks Dre programmed most all that album, but ive always thought that bass sounds really, really human.

IIRC, also some of the lines he did, were done on a line6 variax and a 62 jazz....

Tony T Green is a monster player. Check out Snoop's Doggystyle.. Best bass in hip-hop..
