Questions: 1. Does anyone know which songs bass synth lines were programmed by who? 2. If not what is the "difference" or what do you think is the "difference" between bernard's vs. hook's sequencing/programming bass synth styles? thanks

I have the impression after the 90s everyone settled into focusin on their own stuff then trying out other instruments, but that is just speculation

I feel it's their own choice whatever to do considering their status)) As I was at a gig in Moscow in June , I heard some sessions were pre-programmed... Actually it becomes a matter of style of sounding live..like no other group))) Edited by user 27 August 2013 09:48:49(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Who knows what they know how to do now with current equipment, or if they just rely on "help".

The gig was last year. Am I mistaken?((( After Moscow I just idolize them...

That's all I remember. PS Willy.

Professional bands have been using wireless amp/lead systems for years. He probably had a wireless pack strapped to his back that you couldn't see from the front.

Bernard used a wireless amp/lead system for his guitar. His guitar is definitely plugged in, as you can see/hear him clearly playing lead guitar on Shadowplay and hear his distinctive rhythm guitar on Perfect Kiss, Temptation, True Faith, Crystal, ect. Bernard's style of guitar playing is distinctive and quite different from Phil's. Phil plays a more jangly, elliptical style of guitar.

Didn't Barney use Hooky's bassline as the vocal melody for the verse on "World" and therefore Hooky's bass had been erased from that track in the mixing? And isn't Hooky upset about this up to this day? I remember reading an interview in German Spex magazine 1993 in which Bernard said "Stephen Hague was a good choice for producer as he was able to make clear to a certain band member that not all members have to play on each track". Childish/selfish from both points of view really.

I read that too but I'm not sure on what authority - I think it was in a forum and not from Sarah Jessica Parker's mouth.
