Hello Ger, If I remember correctly, it was an Electro Harmonix phase shifter. It sounds like a chorus pedal, which was de rigeur for every fretless bass sound at that time, and I use chorus today on that song .. but .. I’m pretty sure the effect I used in the studio was aforesaid phaser. And it wasn’t a fretless bass. John." Video Version: at approximately 4:41 "Save a prayer 'til the morning after" is repeated twelve times until fade out. Pure, unadulterated Duran Duran at their fast paced New Wave best! So well produced (of course), but also so melodic and irresistibly catchy. I agree. There's something about the tune and the sounds used, except for Andy Taylor's guitar tone in the solo, which sounds more like a hair-dryer to my ears. The words don't make much sense either but I have loved that song ever since it came out nevertheless. The synthesizer riff in the Video Version is repeated 4 times during the intro, while the synthesizer riff on the album and single version gets repeated only twice.
