It would be fun to meet and chat for real. I've not said before but great playing! It is a shame more people don't get to hear it in real life but I understand you have issues that prevent it happening. Nice touch that. Putting the BC logo on one of your clips.

Was that one your own ? yes ,i was slowly waking up on you tube as a player ,, remembering ?, foot note # slades drummer many years ago was in a car crash & lost his memory ,, after getting jumped on stage @ the jazz cafe i was finished as a performer & music ,, thus , i lost my memory over the years ,, as a player so, 2008, i was remembering , knowing i could play like this years & years ago too,, in fact i was certain we created some of those moves on bass ,, ?? mark king confirmed it after my 1st LBGS ,, bash , but i did this before way before i knew about the LBGS simply because i knew i used to play like this in the early 80s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthiggins Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 In your playing i think I hear more players like Louis Johnson, Nate Phillips, Marcus as well as the uk scene with Tubbs and those great britfunk players..I don't hear the MK thing so much ..would that be right ? Also what happened at jazz cafe ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what happened at jazz cafe ? correct i do not use MK side riffs i use heavier gauge strings Notes,, etc , 1st, when i started doing jam sessions in the early 90s MK slapping was the Only thing not aloud 2nd so , i grew out of / quit , getting into all the paraphernalia associated to MKs playing ,,because of it what happened is, MK was reborn revived as a player in the social network revolution ,,eg when i 1st came on you tube 2007 ,, folks were rating MK, bass players were battling comparing etc ,, i basically said they were Not good bass lines ,,they went crazy , so, i did an upload where i was Singing ,, one guy, reply now deleted , compared this jam to a Sting gig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have light gauge piano wound strings on my B2A. The packet they came in was endorsed by MK. I bought them in '88 after I returned to England to live once more. They're still sounding good on the active, neck-through bass. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't that one of the unique things about Mark's playing - the light guage strings? Going from my other basses to that one, I have to make an effort not to bend strings unless intending to. My other basses are strung with medium gauge. I am practising double thumbing (early days) but only on the wider spaced four stringers; the B2A and the fretless Vantage. If I want to single thumb and pop, I am not bothered what the string spacing is so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthiggins Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 When I have tried the lighter MK type gauge string sets they did seem to make things easier to play but for me they lost some of the heavy funk and growl.. I think Victor Wooten uses quite light gauges.( 40 to 95 ) personally I prefer the 45 to 105 sets favoured by Marcus but I guess it all depends on what you want to do .
