That riff at 1.13, it floored me. There are many, many good players, but Mark King is still one the few who is always on my bass mind.

Dunno which planet Mark comes from but surely not ours. Unreal.

Semi-inventor of the slap pop styl of bassguitar playing King's bass playing style is largely based on continuous 16th notes (aka semiquavers), sometimes described as "machine-gun" style. This "machine-gun" style consists of playing rapidly using a combination of thumb slaps, pops, hammer-ons, and fretting hand slaps.

@gianfrancospagnulore I am an UBER Mark King fan, he is my favourite bassist of all time. But even I disagree with rating Mark and Jaco against eachother. It can't be done. They're two completely different bassists.

@coolhand1966 Well said!
There is only one Mark King, there is only one Jaco, there is only one Stanley Clarke.

@bluespirat No, he just enjoys the tasty mintiness of gum whilst delivering the funk.
