I cannot play bass at all, just guitar. However, I can appreciate brilliant bass guitarists and Mark King is one such example. I appreciate how 'working both hands' you can create the note speed, but understanding the principle is so different from putting it in to practice. I will buy a short scale bass in the New Year to learn a few basics though.
People like Mark King are really inspiring and I wonder how many people will take up playing bass seriously because of him. A real talent.

i went to the same school as mark on the isle of wight, and was taught drums by the same person who taught him. all this inspired me to take up slap bass, 25 years later i can replicate alot of his techniques, but its one thing copying them, and quite another inventing them. the man is a living legend!

Who gives a fuck whether he's cheating or not? I'm not a bass player but those red lights look cool as fuck and Mark King is an unbelievable bass player.
