Manwithvan Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 This post will come as a surprise to Andy, as he does not know me. But I owe him. A couple of weeks ago, Andy sold a Yamaha BB1500A and described it as doing the Marcus Miller thing. This came as a surprise to me, as my 1500 had never come close to that sound. But after absorbing that ad, it now does it very well, better I’d say than the MM signature Fender I once had. It’s true that I tinkered with the mid-cut preset to good effect, but I can’t believe that alone could have made all the difference. Is it all in my head? Or is my playing style now inspired by the faith that we CAN do the Marcus sound? Or when Andy Travis speaks, do all bass guitars obey? Perhaps he would say something encouraging about the Squier Jaguar? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I tend to do what Andy suggests and as the result bought a couple of cracking basses from him 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
