[gfxdave99]

Dude seriously why do you have only 2 videos

[garryc300]

[ezbtube]

Hey man, this is really really good. Loved watching you play and you have picked, in my opinion, one of Mark King's best bass lines from their many many great tracks. Well done. Love it.

[funkmaster921]

i'm sorry, the best bass on you tube is GIANFRANCO SPAGNULO

[GuyMagicFingers]

@funkmaster921 - are you his agent???!! lol

[mattsun71]

i used to listen alot to that live record.

[Nakor01]

Always so good ;)

[dillikins]

I'm so tired of hearing second-rate playing on Youtube. Thankfully, there are a few out there with some actual talent. Thanks for posting - your playing is super-solid and you make it look effortless. Keep it up, and please- more posts soon!

[fuquit69]

Bloody marvellous and well worth the wait. Funnily enough I'd just been surfing around a variety of Mark King wannabes and suddenly remembered your previous video.

Hand on heart, you blow them away.

Can't wait for the next one!

PS: On my own (rather cheap) bass, just been playing around with some interesting chord/note/harmonic progressions - wouldn't mind hearing you tackle some of Kingy's harmonic bits & pieces!

[Splin73r]

Great to see you back again on the youtube scene again there man.

[wushudan]

Really enjoyed this and your other vid. Thanks so much for posting!

[mattireisso]

GREAT performance!!! GRANDIOUS.

[jimminyjoojah]

brilliant again mark. i was really curious to see what your picking technique was like as your slap technique is awesome. as a matter of interest, do u pick with your 3rd finger aswell as the 1st and 2nd or do u just use it to mute? it hops around the way mine does !! lol!!! cheers man, great vid to a wicked tune!!

[kingbassplayer]

true player you are

[Generalbas1972]

Another Great Video Mark, There Are Lots Of Good Bass Players Out There But You`re Way Ahead. Thanks For Posting.

[soptamer]

this is awesome man. i've been waiting for your next video for a while now!! you are a great bass player!!

[renkitch]

I'm selling my bass. I'll take up some knitting or something I can do reasonably well. Fat chance of even being able to play half as good.

[humankey]

awesome, looks so easy for u.

[MUZIKNFILMZ]

Oh yeah babe!!--You got skillz!! (LOL!!)

Listen man, I'm seriously putting some things together with some freinds of mine and we are having a studio built, starting a production company, etc., It will be all originals, kind of a funk/alternative rock/pop/jazz /soul hybrid kind of thing!--I would love to keep in touch with you, so when we are ready, you & I can talk some serious biz and shake some things up!--We will be based out of Orlando,FL.

[geosh78]

That was a lot 'o' funk for 1 minute 40 seconds. Looking forward to #3.

Peace.

[Mowac]

Welcome back old friend..........

[bongobass666]

you play like stanly clarke!!!!!!

[MarloweDK]

Or rather Mark King was heavily inspired by Stanley

[sgomez858]

Yup. Thomas is right. Dune Tune is a rip from Stanly Clark's Desert Song. But I still Love Mark!!

[mdfk667]

Welcome back!

Excellent playing, very fluent and with ease like the previous clip. Inspiring!

Best of luck!

[bean9seventy]

must be quite pressurising ,,,

bit like ziggy stardust looking for a hole in the wall to get out ,,

some people want fame ,but they dont have tallent ,,,,, some people got tallent but dont want the fame ,,, its always the fans ,,

[JayDee11]

Eh?

[JayDee11]

Nice to see a posting from you again, long overdue.

Well what can I or anyone else say about the playing?...Fantastic! You certainly know your craft.

Thanks for posting and all the best.

[slartifartbast]

Fantastic!

[davelister30]

Once again, excellent technique! you're showcasing your vista of skills on the bass to great effect, I havent seen anyone do a version of this on youtube. Good choice. Keep up the good work! P.S. did u have to put ur fingers in an Icebucket after this?

[ebon123]

you're so badass

[sgomez858]

Very niiiice!

[Thesmitster]

Good to see a new video - once again, the bass playing blew me away!
