Where is the bass coming from? Is it just a track they play along with?

They also played "Thread" as the song that aired on television last night. It can be seen here.

It might feel unnatural at times since you wont get those sutle nuances from a human playing, but like CallMeTro said, it's likely they can't afford a touring bassist.

Thanks guys.
