Mark King Level 42 Love Games 1986

[Bassistdan1]

LOVE this guy! Such a tone and his timing is that of a machine!

[steviestoosh]

ive tried that slapping. made me thumbs like the soles of me feet........ rough as fuck

[GarytheIrishDrummer]

to sing and play the bass like that at the same time is just incredible

[FaLaTiCi]

I'am 8

[witterth]

I'm 6"1' does this mean I'm better than the rest of the world now?

I know I can't play the bass as well as Mark can ,even though I've tried hard

[ikkleh]

So what? He's a God. Tom Cruise is 3"2 and everyone loves him. I have met Kingy and he's a little taller than I am, I am a shortarse at 5"7 so I'd put him at 5"8/9

[bean9seventy]

maybe thats why they done a choon called louis ,, trying to tell you in his own words ,, his name is louis,, i am not thunder thumbs ,, louis is

[bean9seventy]

the origional " thunder,thumbs" is louis johnson,,, ,, the other nick name of the 70s ,, was a guy called "pops well" he was the bass player for joe sample and the cursaders,,

robert pops well robinson

even george benson had a nick name

george bad benson

joony guitar watson ,, theres a whole list

ive have already done a version of love games,, check it it out,,,

[BUCHMAJ71]

Louis Johnson may be thunder-thumbs but the true slap-god would be LARRY GrAHAM. Not to take anything from any of these guys. They are all incredible players/ musicians.

[KurtSandford]

lol. If that bass gets any higher he'll be wearing it as a hat.

But... it gives him max dexterity.

[beng1lh00ly]

Mark King is only 5" 7 tall!

[Mowac]

Yep.....I bet if he stood one of his old jaydees on end he would be eye level with the top of the headstock....I can see why he doesn't play Jaydees anymore because:

1. His old Jaydees weighed 12.4lbs.!

2. You have to max out the length of your arm just to reach the tuners.

3. The Status Kingbasses were built around Mark's dimensions with smaller Alembic-inspired string spacing.

[mickeymoose76]

5'9" according to IMDB

[Bullet19881988]

IMBD is making stars taller!

[mickeymoose76]
