Does anybody know what synth was used to create the bass line in JJ's Steppin' Out?

Pretty sure it's a Prophet-5. If I remember correctly, there's a pic of it in the album (though I could be wrong).

The question is was it played in real time, or was trigger by the KR-55 drum machine?

Graham Maby: one of my favorite bassists of all time.

Steppin' Out: one of my favorite Joe Jackson songs of all time.
The Easter Bunny brought me the 7" when I was like seven years old. Best Easter ever!

Definitely a pipe-dream to own all the gear used on this LP (as my CP-70M has sat in storage for the past decade

). Even though Jackson's vocal technique drives me batty on this song, still maybe one of my brain's all time favorite songs ever. Friggin' magic.
