Thumb5,
Mick Karn was also a shock to my system. An amazing player who bent his bass into a radical role for the electric bass. As you did, I too tried to emulate Mick Karn and Dave Allen's sounds. Hearing Mick on the Japan albums sent me off to buy a fretless bass; an experiment that I eventually conceded was not really a success. I love the sound of a good fretless, but mostly in the hands of other players.
It is likely an album you know, but I'll post it for other curious folks who may wonder what we are talking about: Dali's Car, with Mick Karn and Peter Murphy. I have this on vinyl and CD. I listen to it ripped as AIFF and streamed through a APExp or Sonos. Plus I love Maxfield Parish, so I could look and listen for hours
