He is the cleanest, most fluid and melodic bass player I’ve ever seen/heard. The attention to detail is amazing.

Dude I played bass in the 1980s and was obsessed with mark king, his sound and technique. I struggled and was very average. You are the genuine article. You have evolved bass playing beyond the great players and have that pioneer spirit. Total respect to you. 😀

1:01 the moment where headphone cable and the fret of the bass is alligned perfectly

Im so happy someone finally put a bassline by Mark King and his £3, 000, 000 thumb on a top 5 list. I love him so much. I've only been playing bass for about 6 months, but i was able to learn Running In The Family for a college gig. It was the best time i have ever had while learing a song.

Mark King!!!! The God thumb himself and Marcus miller!!! These two are my favourite bassists!

[randygerson]

he slaps
he taps
but most importantly
he's pro
WOW

Gotta love good technique when you see it. Diggin the "Cant hold no groove" licks. A lot of people can play Wooten, but not many people can play his lines well. His timing is very subtle, whether ahead or behind the beat mid lick. Fun to watch you play

How in the living FRICK do you always sound so clean? I swear I never hear a missed note or an extra string being hit by you ever and you keep knocking out complicated passages. Bravo

[humanbass]

Amazing tone. Perfect amount of low end, punch and treble.

[youarehandsome]

What i really like about this dude is that every single note he plays is super clear. Another level.

[gottahaftashit]

That intro was so long that I even finished reading longest word smh

[ViktorSarge]

Every note is clean and precise, it's a pleasure to listen to your playing

[neilclarkwork]

I love that purposeful “here’s my headphone chord and I don’t care” moment!

[hadencluno]

Man I’m feeling this. I could listen to you slap and tap all day!!! Don’t stop groovin! EVER!

[CandidCorvid]

that headphone cable of yours is starting to give me anxiety

[sebass_]

1:23 I died here LMAO that headphone cable is just LEGENDARY on you channel

[nikolatesla]

My fingers hurt just by... Enough talking

[stephencoxbass]

Great list and great playing! Awesome job!
