Forgot about the bells/chimes, thanks.
Is there a real bass in there, or is it a synth?

I would say a real bass.

In another thread our DP noted that Bill claims to play the guitar on Heaven.
In fact he is credited on guitar on timeisonourside.
After repeated listens:
- still hear only one guitar
- me thinks that guitar is JAgger
Kimsley: "I played on Heaven, I played alleged piano on Heaven. That was laid down with just Charlie, Mick and I, I think. I don't think anyone else was in the room. But the session was called for like midnight and Mick and Charlie were the first to arrive and Mick started playing the chord sequence and I sat down at the piano and started following along and next thing I knew it sounded really good. So I told the assistant to roll it and we put some things on it and it sounded very good".
So my guess is that Kimsey is right and Bill overdubbed bass and synth.
Your turn.

p.s. Whoever is playing the guitar, Heaven is WAY better than Stop Breaking Down. I said it.

I've always thought that Heaven - No Use In Crying was probably their best back to back track selection.

"Heaven" is the most boring piece of music the Stones ever released on an album. A complete throwaway, I cannot imagine why they lifted it from the can. They rather should have wiped the tape after recording. Awful beyond compare. Keith is not on it, not even overdubbed it, probably because he didnt want to waste his time on stuff like that. Really odd song and oh so boooooring. Such things can only happen when Keith is not in the room.

In my top 10 of favourite tunes. Tattoo You is really Micks masterpiece.

come to think of it, I play synthesizer and three other
instruments on Heaven on the new album. That's just me,
Mick and Charlie on that track - only nobody realizes it
because there are no credits on the album.

wow...my mind is blown. I never new this. I agree, great track and I guess maybe that's why it sounds so different to everything else, when the guitar players in a guitar band don't play on the song.
. So Kimsey is calling Wyman a liar? I think that quote byKimsey is inaccurate. Wyman himself says he played all those instruments.And I’ve seen him listed elsewhere as playing guitar on itQuote

Heaven is such a great song.Too bad it’s overlooked by a lot of fans.I think it’s unique in the Stone’s song canon since it’s the only song Wyman plays guitar,along with synth and percussion.Which guitar is he playing.And is it reallya Jagger-Wyman composition
