I have an obscure recollection of hearing back in the 90's that Liam actually plays bass guitar on the track "Everybody in the Place (155 And Rising)". Anyone here remember hearing the same:?:

He played bass with Noel Gallagher on Shoot Down, he also played guitar on that track. He played guitar in Hot Ride with Jim Davies. He's credited for 'Beats, Bass and Analogue shit' for Pheonix. He played guitar with Jim Davies on You'll Be Under My Wheels... That's all I know he's credited for in terms of instruments that aren't SYNTH or KEYBOARD

ok Skellz, thanx. maybe he didn't see it necessary to mention about it on Experience, but though i'm quite confident i heard he plays the bass on the track.

I'm a noob when it comes to music production and “analogue shit” drew my attention. What is it?

well i dont know why he spelled it 'Analogue' but an 'Analog' is a synthesizer keyboard.

No keyboard at all necessarily..

There are two types of synth; digital and analog.
Analog synths use analog circuitry to generate the waveforms and modulate them (cutoff filters, frequency etc), where as digital synths, aka VA (virtual analog) reproduce the sounds by playing a sampled waveform and using digital means of altering effects.

The differences in sound are are subtle, but people who are big into synths can spot the differences..many claim to hear more warmth and fatness from them.

Analog synths are usually vintage, the best example of an analog synth being the MS-20.
Liam uses this for a lot of bass sounds, and was produced in the 70's. Thus all models today are obtained second hand.

The problem with analog synths is that because they are analog, a lot of physical problems can occur with the circuitry.

The price of an MS-20 is usually over a grand (second hand), whereas a second hand digital synth will be less than €500.
There are VST's of analog synths, which are basically digital recreations via computer software for computers, even for the MS-20, which some claim to be more or less identical to the real thing.

hermmmmm, I know what analog means. It was the second word that confused me
