I consider the bass (and guitar) sounds on Real Life to be quintessential new wave/post punk. There is quite a bit of information available on John McGeogh's set up, but little enough on Barry Adamson's. I am guessing from the growl that a Rick bass of some sort was used, and there also seems to be some sort of chorus effect. Can you tell us a bit more about the set up/recording method for the Magazine bass sound?

And of course, many thanks for taking the time to participate in the forum.
