Mark King in my Opinion is The World's Best Bass Player and 2 Mark King is the Regular Bass Player in the Princess Trust House Band and that's because He's The Best.

Come on Mark it's about time you put one of your own instructional DVD's that many other bass & lead guitarists have, with in depth chats about techniques while showing them & also talking about a variety of this bass related matters...

I've bought quite a few with likes of Billy Sheehan/Abe Laboriel/Michael Manring/Louis Johnson & Larry Graham just to name a few & I can't be the only one who'd think this would sell well on DVD...

I know it'd be great/informative & funny also as You like your brother Nate have a great sense of humour which I know would come across on this Mark King instructional DVD...

So come on Mr King hows about doing one as you have hinted a few times at doing one of these DVD's through these many years & I'm sure many Level 42 fans along with bassist's alike would buy & enjoy a DVD done by you about your style & all the different techniques you use/equipment & who inspires you...

Again it is with a heavy heart that I type:

RIP Boon Gould
Sadly Gone, But Never Forgotten...

Love Mark... I am a True Believer that this might have been intentional... still funny AF though!

Can't believe some Mook complaining of no bottom end? Realize that most awesome Bass Gods play equally or in some cases more so in the high register? You may as well, if you played for 40-50 years.

anyone know what effects pedal he's using?

Thank you for that tit of the month, mark

[ChristopherMcGivern]

The tip should’ve been ‘Leave it to me’

[bananadogtoaster]

"the way to start" tfym??? i would never be able to play that back when i started 😭

[vedranbrijacak]

Does that general pattern goes like this? ||:(S T S S)(P S T S)(S T S S)(P S T S):|| for 4/4 mesure in 16th notes, pattern is only two quater notes or two brackets. S*...slap, T*...left hand tap, P*...pop

[maxcohen]

What's the bass he's playing?

[bryanleigh]

Not your TC friend. I had a TC Electronics stack, 750 watt head and two 2x12 cabs. Weak setup. Only OK of you roll off bass and lower mid, like King does. I went back to the heavy gear.

He's looking like hodges from Dads army these days
