Talk:Repetition (David Bowie song)

Bass guitar v. rhythm guitar
(I did the same thing for the main album page as well). This is in reference to the song "Repetition." That "slur sound" is too high (both in terms of frequency and the string gauge) for it to be a bass guitar. Also, its placement in the mix is hard left, which is not usual for mixing a bass guitar but makes more sense for a rhythm guitar. (Typically, bass guitars and bass/kick drums are placed in the center of a mix, not only because they help "ground" the overall song, but also it helps keep the needle locked onto the playing groove.). And finally, there's already a bass guitar playing a straight-forward bassline (with a slight funk edge too). I call it a "rhythm guitar" because there's already a lead part playing and what that guitar is doing is closer to a rhythm guitar. That is my justification for the edit.
