Marcus Miller-Fclef

[bigwm]

Great sounding bass, combination of Marcus' fingers and the fact the bass has been built to a similar spec as his signature bass except with Foders preamps? Is this the same F Bass company form Canada that make the Alain Caron signature?

[bunkabusta01]

This brand of bass is F Clef so not the same as F Bass.

[lebrett2]

To bigwm: No FClef and FBass are two different companies.

[huhhuwaaa]

Nice!

[matalmike]

Does'nt matter what you through in the mans hands..... It still sounds like Marcus.

[noinwe]

Of course it would still sound like Marcus, because thats who would be playing. His style won't change. Marcus could not make a Ken smith or a Mtd or a Fodera sound like his Fender. Can't happen, they all have there own distinctive sound.

[kempzero]

What's that trick he does at 0:27 to 0:29 and how is it done?

[thatbassistguy]

i think he was just using the tapping technique

[ffflipsnake]

It's called tapping. Look it up.

[JustusFriedolin]

well, on one string, pluck, hammeron and tapping combined. its not that hard to do, its just hard to build in a song and make it sound good.

[kempzero]

What's that thing he does at 0:27 and can I learn how to do it on youtube?

[BigSima6]

he is so smooth. his chops are definitely another level

[JazzBass7]

I need to try one of these basses. Where can I get/try one?

[supahproducer]

Nikki's Groove. Thas Whas Really Good!

[isiwalu]

[Nederlandac]

[Nederlandac]

Great.

[brandonbalzary]

he is amazing.......

I LOVE MARCUS MILLER!

[Nederlandac]

nice guy.

[atrillado]

I have one and it sounds exactly the same as Marcus, the best 5 string Jazz around the world!!!

[jazzin4bass]

I agree!People are in for a surprise once they try one!

[JazzBass7]

@jazzin4bass How much do they go for? Like if I wanted a four string version of this one?

[mryamahatrb6]

FClef basses are not just any bass they are more expensive than Sadowsky and have Fodera preamps in them. Nice bass the price ie pretty expensive, Miller makes any J bass sound good anywat

[jazzin4bass]

no he's at our booth..our basses just sound like this..

[germogligermogli]

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM DO FINGERSTYLE!!!

[jkb052088]

look up marcus miller frankenstein he plays fingerstyle very comfortably

[dmgty88]

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM DO FINGERSTYLE!!! Hahaha... What a noob I am.. hahaha!

[jeansbass]

Marcus takes any bass from the wall, and STILL sounds like Marcus!!! right there, it's a great lesson to everyone.

[jazzin4bass]

Not neccesarily true.I sat down right next to Marcus and if he can't get his sound out of what he's playing.He won't even play it.

[jimcarreyizdaman]

I feel you man, that is his signature bass after all. And everytime I've seen him sit down at namm etc. He's always got his bass with him

[jwuonog]

Actually, that's not his sig bass, it's an F Clef bass. I guess it's like their version of it?

But yeah, tone lies VERY heavily in the technique, and your fingers.

[rohanarchy]

what? if he cant get his sound out of a bass then he won't play it? that takes all the fun out of trying new basses! but then again if i had 'his' sound i wouldn't try any thing else! ive tried MM sig fenders thru EBS and i cant get his sound it's weiiiird, and sad :(

[wwralston]

Ahh nikki's groove. This is my favorite song, named after my cousin (his daughter).

[MAJORdorMo]

NO WAY!

Marcus Miller is your uncle??

[Edefinitely]
