Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I wonder whether they actually made a dozen & Marcus got to pick the best two for himself leaving ten rejects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vibrating G String Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 [quote name='SignsOfDelirium_bassist' post='989534' date='Oct 15 2010, 10:39 AM']wow...over 4k and the strings still don't seem to line up with the poles properly...way to go fender *facepalm*[/quote] It has the traditional Fender neck shift so the strings are pushed over to the G string side. Probably a result of using hand selected neck bolts. After seeing Marcus many times over the last 20 years on different basses I've come to the conclusion that Marcus gets his tone from his skills and not his instrument choice. Personally I find one of the greatest insults you can give to a musician is credit the instrument for the tone. Marcus plays that Jazz because it was given to him by his Aunt. If she bought him a Ripper Gibson would be responsible for his awesome tone. Remove every label from this bass that says Fender or Marcus or masterluthiermagician and this becomes a $500 bass for a faux poser.
