      if i only could offord a used Mark king standard Alembic.
      it suits suits the music so good, on all concerts they have had after 1989, Sad that he only can use Status basses now. I guess he maybe would have used Alembic if it's not because his "arangement" with Status

    The years around the turn of the Millennium were really pivotal to whether the songs of Level 42 would continue…And good God, Mark got out there and kept shit going!…I feel very privileged to have gone to many of Mark's gigs (and the re-branded Level ones) across the transition from 99 to 01……This gig is a great example of an amazing but often neglected period in Level music history…Just glorious music IMHO.

    Amazing how different his two alembics sound.All alembic series basses have a life of their own. A testament to their hand made one off, custom status. My two series instruments are completely different .They both sound like alembics ,but that is where it ends. Nothing like them.They are the Bentley of basses!.

    I didn't really want to get into "who's a better bass player" discussion. almost impossible as they both have very unique playing styles. My comment was in response to the question "Can anyone else play and sing like Mark King"?. I'll say again Geddy Lee plays Bass, sings and uses Taurus pedals with his feet simultaneously which in my opinion is much harder to do. Especially when Rush play in much harder time signatures. Anyway I love them both and glad that they're both still going strong!

    True, sound is different from all other Level 42 live stuff, different as in warmer, rounder, fuller as opposed to the otherwise rather 'thin' in bass terms sound you hear live, without a doubt the Eden amp also plays a role here :)

    @cambridgebasslessons 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree Mark King is a monster the way he sings and plays. I would say their is someone else who is even more incredible. Geddy Lee from Rush, sings, play keyboards, bass pedals and on top of that is one of the best bass players around. Rush play in some very complicated time signatures and his bass lines are very complicated. Not slap like Mark King but I personally find Geddy's bass lines harder to play!

    • @MrChippiechappie

    I actually sold my long scale MK Sign DLX. The body just didn't fit me well. Beautiful instrument, great sound too; but I prefer to play my Status Empathy, my Carvins and jazz bass.
    Mark King is badass regarding his ability to play monster lines, sing well and chew gum.

  • @TheWhippinpost
    @TheWhippinpost 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    With respect, I think the phrase "even more incredible" is a bit strong for the comparison made. Keep in mind King can play drums and guitar quite ably. The fact King doesn't play keys or bass pedals live is a moot point given that he plays funk/jazz, Lee rock.
    As they both perform the same duties otherwise, a fairer test in this imaginery comparison would be to ask: could they swap places?
    Personally, given a month to learn, I don't think Lee could switch as quick as King... and Geddy rocks!
