OK you Mark King heads. Here is the only song I will play from Level 42 and Mark King. There are plenty of players out there who do a better job then me! Almost every nowadays funky bassplayer grew up with Mark King. So this is my tribute to him. I am not to crazy about his sound. Too much of mid and high to get the percussive sound. But I manage pretty well on my Alembic, Edwin van Huik signature model. Thanks Ed!

Oct 11, 2008 - Your vids are awesome. Your definitely one of the top basses on the tube. Oh yeah, first you play on a vintage musicman, then you pull out the alembic. I'm so jealous! :-)
