Patch request for: Rocky Mountain Way (Joe Walsh)

Hi everyone!

I need to figure out this one. Particularly, the wonky synth patch during the bridge, which you can hear in the left channel here:



Don't confuse it with the talk box in the right channel.

Besides the straight up bass guitar, there's a left hand synth doing some "bass work" and there's the right hand synth doing some bluesy grooves.

1) are both hands using the same patch?
2) anyone want to take a stab at making that patch, or suggesting how I can do it?

I have an NS2, but I think if you give me an NS3 patch I'll be able to inspect it with the Viewer and port it over...

Thanks!!

Sorry in advance for not answering your specific question: When we covered this, I just used a clav patch in the left hand, which adds crunch without sounding like an electric bass note. Part of this is philosophy: as a keys player I don't like to get into the bass player's space with my left hand playing, and since our covers band has a solid bass player that makes my desire to stay out of his way a strong one. When we covered this, I did not even play bass notes (using my Electro's clav patch) for the whole song. Instead I only added it for those places in the song where I wanted to effectively press the "More" button. I guess the direction you take might depend on to what degree you like how your bassist plays.
