Ah, right.  I missed the "you" connection by a mile.  Alfred - Bass.  Doh.

Perhaps you can settle an ongoing dispute we've had in another group.  It's 
regards Jack White, of White Stripes fame, and his Seven Nation Army track.

The studio version [and apparently the live version too, which is said to 
be poor] sounds like he uses both a 6 string and a bass - but different 
sources say different things.  Some say he used a bass backing track to do 
it live, others say he used an octave divider to get the key.  Liner notes 
make no mention of the bass.

Wotchya reckon?
