I love that classic "smile at miles" moment at 0:38 that Marcus has in every video. Its almost reminds me a lil kid rambunctiously doing something wrong but waiting to see if his parent is watching lol

Marcus is simply an amazing bassplayer!

[olympiabanquethall]

yes



[baptthebass]

This is the proof that playing lots of notes is not the only (&best) way to groove. LONG LIVE THE BASS!!

How to build a sound? That is the question...

C. He thought the instrument would be played with the thumb, like the way Wes Montgomery played guitar (his brother Monk was an early user of the Fender bass, and did play it that way too). The tug-bar was under the strings to help with this. You'd wrap your finger tips under the tug-bar, rest your palm on the PUP cover, and the thumb would lay on the strings.

D. The bridge cover had a foam mute that knocked down the sustain, and helped the bass emulate the double bass.

@onlyjoeteeWhen Leo Fender designed his first electric bass he put a chrome cover over the pickup and the bridge for multiple reasons.

A. He thought the cover over the PUP would provide some electrical shielding (it's too open to do any good there, but that was one reason- early Precision had a wire going to the cover even).

B. The original P bass PUP was pretty open with the coils subject to damage, so the chrome cover would protect the PUP.

Yeah I'm a bassist. But I play "music" not "misic". You are just a dumbfuck, prepare to get schooled:

[onlyjoetee]

@robertcuthbert covers the pickups for what?do you even play misic?fuck off man

[robertcuthbert]

@onlyjoetee It's called a pickup cover. It covers the pickups. Bassists (and drummers) set up the groove for the guitarist. Slap is a difficult technique that Mister Miller has mastered. You are full of dumb shit. Shut the fuck up.
