Actually that song has no real bass live - we use a crappy sounding preprogrammed bass sound on the drum machine. We're trying to get a friend to learn the bass for 3 songs we have with two guitars to do them live. The 'deconstructed' part at the end is me looping my part with a delay pedal (don't remember what its like on the youtube video, I'm talking about the newer versions of it we play, don't remember if I had that pedal then)...sometimes sounds good, sometimes not - it's never the same way twice which makes it fun.

What drum machines do you use CHOUT? I just have an Alesis SR-16 and if I could hooking a 2nd one up VIA midi sounds like a good idea. Especially one that you can write basslines on for when I go it alone.
Can your bass riffing drum machine send the bass riffs out as midi control messages? I have an analog synth with midi in that has a sort of archaic sequencer, but if I could play it with another sequencer that is structured as a song, that could be really cool.
