Corpse Rises is a rare example of the conspicuous use reverb/delay on the bass. There is also heavy eq'ing going on that cuts out the lower frequencies at times &#40;another unusual thing to do to bass&#41;. <BR>Its not very easy to tell but it sounds to me like a real bass. Maybe removing the lower frequencies naturally results in the slightly distorted/growly sound &#40;or is a natural by-product of the equipment used&#41;. It sounds less growly when more bass comes in.

Neil C <BR> <BR>pretty sure it is a real bass since that disc used the Roots Radics as I recall. FWIW a little distortion on a bass track can produce great results if used right
