Hi guys,

It was a fun collaboration!! I enjoyed learning the exact bass part for the song, after jamming loosely to this over the years.

Great performances from everyone.

Nick, the mix is super, considering the barrage of seps that you had to work with.
I love the bass tone you gave me, what trickery did you use? :)

Once again, well done all!
