Well - I made the mistake of reading the comments before listening (I don't usually listen to guys singing about "the twins"). Had to make an exception in this case though.

Glad I did.

It's a really clever and truly upbeat song, and  if that's a ukele on that bass line, then I'm duly impressed as well.

Fantastic job Geir. You put a smile on my face.
You're only as old as you feel man.
It ain't pretty being easy.

Thanx for the comments guys, glad I could put some smile on some faces ;D ... sorry 'bout the coffee-spill ::)

I've updated the post with the lyrics.

I guessed you would ask that Hooper ;) ... and you are right. It was a bass sim patch I used, slightly modified. As they are meant for guitar and the ukulele's lowest note is a C4 (on mine at lest) I needed to go two octaves down. I used the "P60-OctWahBs" and turned off the wah and set the balance between one octave and two octaves down to about 20-80. Made sure I didn't get to hot signal when recording the "bass" and amazingly it worked rather well. Good to know when travelling and don't have room for a guitar :)
