bubinga5 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) Im sure some have seen this before but this is why i love Marcus soooo much...wonderful playing from the master of soulful bass playing...i defy anyone not to love the sound of his jazz bass...his solo at the start is wonderful..then he hits you with that killer slap hook.... tis a very young MM with Sanborn IMHO the best track/clip ive ever seen of this magician of the electric bass..i love it just before he comes in with the slap he adjusts his basses tone....his slap bass is something to behold at 3.10 onwards.... whoops..

Pete Academy Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 He's probably got the front pickup down a bit for the intro, and then pulls both pickups full on for the slap sound. Great thing about Jazz basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if it offends. For the record, no I cant play like Mr Miller and in all fairness, neither would I want to. Its a style thing. That smooth American RnB sound doesnt excite me like it does others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
