notes
Synth bass doubles the electric bass line for weight; CS-80 string-pad chords carry the intro. On this engine: saw plus square with a sub square an octave down, LP24 with a fast +2-octave filter-envelope sweep over 150 ms for the pluck, mono, DI'd through a 1176 and SSL EQ for the classic Bruce Swedien low end.
