Bravo! Great!

[markandtyler]

imgine him doing this shit on a strat...he used to be a guitarist for sure...

[diamonddust22]

I am so greatful for all you do for us Marlowe.

[SentDeLaRaie]

yeah

[AnerStroz]

how many basses do you own? and if you not tierd there's a chance you write all of the models down for me:)?

[LesCrapio]

This is good for blowing small speakers.

[Garfield4317]

hey, I've been looking for a new bass, i want one with the strings really close to the frets, but a versitile one, could anyone reccomend one for me?

[thesplage]

You can raise or lower the action on any bass... what is your price range?

[llabsoof]

im just starting to learn how to play bass and this guyis like my idolHES AWESOME

[sinilos]

MarloweDK is full of talent. If you don´t see that you must be deaf, man. It´s fact. That´s all.

[zincpower21]

ricken backer

[shantypiker41367]

Just read your comment.You're right...there IS no right or wrong...just differences!Hey, look I use a pick from time to time...not usually in the funk or groove context...that's jus' me. To all the others who have replied to my comment, yes.. I've seen his vids with him playin' barehanded...he's fuckin' good. I'm just offering an opinion.Bein' the smartass that I am, I like to spark up a little debate...it opens up a forum to exchange ideas and insights...does it not? Keep groovin'

[shantypiker41367]

Alitt insecure...aren't we? Alittle critisism never hurt anyone.Those who can take it are the ones who can advance themselves. Those who don't,stay at the same level.I'm not saying that you suck...you don't.I just don't agree with using a pick for funky grooves.You can get plenty of muted ghost notes bare handed...think Jaco Pastorious,or,Rocco Prestia.When I start putting up clips on you tube,then you can tell me how much I suck...or not.Till then keep it up.

[seeDerekNow]

shantypiker, open your mind brutha. Nothing wrong with using a pick on a bass if done right. He doesnt sound anything like a frustrated guitarist to me :)

[bassfacer1357]

If it SOUNDS good it IS good. Never heard that one before? DK always sounds tight as hell and he's got a tone to match. A pick gets a sharper attack than you can generally get with fingers so it does have its uses on bass. There's no right or wrong in music piker, just opinion...

[shantypiker41367]

A PICK? I'm sorry, man but real bassists don't use picks. What are you? A frustrated guitarist. your note choises are fine ,but your attack isn't. PLAY THAT THING LIKE A MAN!!!

[MarloweDK]

:Says a true non musician..

[urxfavxweapon77]

you should try and watch a few other of his videos before you make yourself sound stupid like you just did.

[panikattak14]

@shantypiker41367 I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that someone had dictated absolute rules as to how one plays their instrument. Real bassists (and any real musician for that matter) play their goddamn instrument any way they please, so long as they get their job done.

[SteveShivik]

@shantypiker41367 frankly I'd say it takes an equal amout of skill as using your fingers. Hell, look at Chris Squire

[Makonu2]

Spoken like a true ignoramus. A good musician becomes familiar with as many ways to play his/her instrument as possible. My guess is you've never picked up a bass guitar in your life. I'm also guessing that you've heard someone say that playing with a pick isn't cool and thought it would be bad ass to regurgitate that dumb shit, retarded comment. Honestly, you shouldn't even listen to music with comments like that. Cheers, asshole, from a bass player that uses a pick and fingers.

[TwoSexyFourMyShirt]

@shantypiker41367 It's called groove and timing bud, something you not really have XD sorry i dont wanna be a dick because i just love MarloweDK's playing but you just don't play good not because it isn't my taste but your techniques even i can do better and that says a lot

[beatlefan247]

@shantypiker41367 just wanna say, pick bass is a technique. its not wrong to play bass with a pick. some guitarists like finger picking on their guitars, doesnt mean they arnt real guitarists. Its just technique. personally i prefer pick bass because i like the sound of it. but i do like the occasional finger bass. doesnt matter what technique ya use, as long as its comfortable for ya

[kindweed]

my favorite!

[AvilaGibson21]

The neck on that ric is shiny ooh aaah.I love Rickenbacker basses.

[cny70]

Nice job. How do you play that drum fill in the backround? Where did you buy or download the drum fill?

[EdTheBassPlayer]

dont qutote me but i think it is from the pandora px4d headpgone amp

[Fretfeeler]

I gotta get me a Rickenbacker. God I love the sound. Wonderful improvisational playing and feel too dude, I love it. :)

[captaincharisma2007]

you are actually the man!

[mikenreich1]

Marlowe, I have to thank you, whenever I'm feeling confident in my bass playing I just have to tune into one of your videos and I suddenly lose all my self esteem.

[wolfpack1980]

Love the groove, thanks for letting us listen!

[balslev01]

Hej Thomas.

Superfedt site du har kreeret her.

Jeg har spillet i mange år, men har manglet øve videoer præcis som dine.

Jeg var i mine unge dage vild med både Buzstop, Crew og Paris Paris. Det bringer fede minder frem at se de gamle videoer :-)

Jeg har altid været vild med George Duke, Brecker Brothers, Chic, Larry Graham, Marcus Miller, EWF osv.

Jeg har virkelig fået mod på at øve mig efter at have fundet dit site.

Tusind tak og masser respekt.

Jon, Odense.

[MarloweDK]

til Jon:

Tak og god fornøjelse:-)

[AnobDracir]

good pluck groove man!!

[OmniTron1000]

I'm stealing your ric, and that's all there is to it.

[puentetrebol]

cuantos años llevas tocando???

[FortlinRoad]

Great work on your Ric!!, what type of strings do you use on your Ric?

Cheers

[woody7800]

I am totally amazed by your grooves. I enjoy listening and watching you play. You are truly an accomplished musician. Cheers!!

[woody7800]

[MarloweDK]

[ayabiecal]

[zaksnaporaz]

for some Keziah Jones discovery, try'n'watch on youtubedotsomslash watch?v=yodD39mlGBI or watch?v=DS71HIhMXwQ or watch?v=BLd7QAEcvnU&mode=relat­ed&search= ...great stuff ;o)

[zaksnaporaz]

fantastic: you just made my day !

best groove stuff I've ever heard/seen !!!

Thumbs up Marl' ! you could make a broomstick groove...

[spacedub1]

another great job man

[Thatguy301]

Again great groove. Just realized though, you have all these basses and not a single Warwick. Not, that you have to have one, but you seem to have a penchant for collecting basses why not get one? I'd love to hear one of your grooves with that classic warwick growl. I was hoping to get a Thumb BO 6 myself.

[zaksnaporaz]

yes Warwicks, I've got 2 myself - a fretless corvette and a bolt-on thumb5: great instruments, but I always put them down for months after playing them for an hour or so. Perhaps they do have a too idiosyncratic tone, like a spice you like to have in your food once in a while but not every day... But I'm sure Marl' has his own idea about this, as well as about Statuses, ESPs and other hi-tech animals... haven't you Marl' ?

[MarloweDK]

Have no experience with Warwicks, im afraid

[zaksnaporaz]

I was first struck at a Keziah Jones gig back in 93 or so, his bass player Phil "Soul" Sewell was playing a Warwick (a Fortress I think), and I really dug his amazing melodic sense & funkiness, and the specific slick tone of his Warwick. Since then, unfortunately Soul went off and was replaced by very capable but (me think) less subtle & tasty bassists. I guess you should try a Warwick one day or another at your fav guitar shop, but avoid the cheap series not as good as the real ones :o)

[playdrums]

Marlowe's gotta be the most tasteful user of the pick I've ever heard on bass. Glad to hear that beautiful Ric again!

[Nivtop2112]

Hey man, would you have the tabs for that? ;-) haha Just kidding. Nice work as usual.

[jpb11380]

wow you beasted that

[1studpostman]

I only dream to play as awesome as that ! some Day :) I will ! Thanks DK !

[ThanagarianTragedy]

Nice! You are really gifted.

[moomoocajoo]
