  • I wish Mark would do more of this type of stuff live - less fast triplets and more melodic stuff.

    I also miss the great Alembic sound he had for a few years.

    Still, listening to MK play is always a pleasure in whatever context.

  • I used to work with mark at macri's music in London, he was a drummer then - never heard him play because we didn't sell drums! he had just returned from the US where he went to see Lenny White - kept ranting how good he was - this was about 1978 or so. Quite where his bass talent came from is frankly amazing...as his playing sure is - if your read this Mark, cheers from Moray! (now in Sydney Aus)

  • @minx3a You are more than welcome ,mate. You could tell me about JD's and Status i am sure,cheers

  • @76alembic: Thank you for the info !.

  • @SmakitNicely Both series one and Two have the hum Cancelling dummy coil. the difference is7 lamination's in the neck and pots instead of switches for the "Q' of the tone control in series II and more body lamination's as well . The series one has a 5 piece neck ,"Q" switches and less body lamination's.. More details available @ Alembic.com,cheers

  • @TheMightyHartley I have to agree with you there !, I also have great respect for SC.

  • @bluespirat I'd disagree. ONE small part sounds like SC, the rest is merely SC-influenced. I like SC, by the way.

  • @TheMightyHartley the melodie is from stanley clarke the album school days

  • @MrMel0dy many thanks !!.

  • @minx3a I thought he initially got 34" scale but didn't like it so he had the two 32" scale ones made the same. Anyway really nice video. This sort of style really compliments the Alembic unlike some of the live concerts (apart from the Ryde Theatre 2000 which sounds awesome) where it sounds too tinny IMO.

  • @minx3a That's a Series 1. You can tell because it has a hum cancelling pup between the 2 single coil pups

  • @NecaTheBoy95 Alembic, long scale 34" series 2
