Hi all.
Long time (1974) MO fan, only dicovered this forum through web browsing, thought I would join in.

In the instrument list inside the TBII booklet, there is no mention of Bass Guitar being used, however, It is not only announced at the end of The Bell, but the instrument can also be heard being played in many parts of the album.

My question - Is it a typo in the credits or is it a sample of a bass guitar played on a keyboard ?

I would assume also that if it was a real bass (just not listed) that MO played it.

Thank you for any light that can be shone on this for me :)

Hi Andrew. Welcome to the forum!

On this site ( http://tubular.net/discography/TubularBellsII ) there's a comment about the PRS Bass Guitar that says: Seen in the 'Making of TB2' video clips, so presumably used on the album as well.

Here's one of those videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOOt4OynylU

Hi.
Thanks for the welcome and the reply  :)

I'm am curious as to why there is no mention of Bass Guitar in the instrument listing inside the album booklet.

Thanks also for the video link too  :)
