A lot of people (mostly non-Brits) say this, but to my ear (at least) they're
quite different.  Ron does *try* to sound like Bob sometimes, but I'd never
mistake him for Bob in a million years.

At Blackheath especially, there was really very little fucking around with
synths and MIDIs and stuff, and that's part of it... also, Ron is a more, uh,
"direct", bass-player...  (which I happen to like, actually).
