Topic: a real bassline done with 303

Wow I just stumbled over a documentation about the 303 and they played a few tracks where the 303 was used in its original purpose... as a replacement for a bass guitar wink somehow strange when you suddenly realize that all you ever heard from 303s is acid stuff and so on

Here's the song, a really cool one indeed:

And in case you want to see the documentation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKy6wKCFMI8


EDIT: I think the really special thing is also that it's really playing long notes and using those slides as a real bass guitar player would... because even if the 303 was used in non-acid tracks, it was still very often a very electronic, Kraftwerk-style bass sound, or even lead sounds, but never a really "natural" sounding bass line
