@@clifking I was hearing it for the first time in the 80s. Changed my ear and my approach to bass. Others play the some of the same notes and licks, but none sound exactly like Marcus. There's only one. (just like there's only one of anybody 😁)
@@zarkc4 haha perhaps Bro.. older for sure which we all eventually will be, but certainly not obsolete.. listen to any bass player or musician we’re all derived from, and influenced by each other including those who have gone before in some manner.. tell me that you don’t play a Jaco, a Miller, an Anthony Jackson, a Pino, a James Jamerson, a Mark King, a Larry Graham, a Jeff Andrews, a John Pattiucci, a Vail Johnson, a Steve Swallow, a Hadrien Feraud, a Fredrico Malaman, Rocco Prestia, an Abraham Laboriel, a Bootsy Collins, a Jimmy Haslip, your music tutor and the millions upon millions not mentioned.. I’m certain to be influenced by you! too..🎶🎵♥️😎
Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke and the Late Mark Adams, Louis Johnson, Bernard Edwards and Aston Barrett from Bob Marley band had some of the best bass lines back in the days.
40 ans de basse derrière moi, Marcus nous délivre LE SOLO de la mort, tout y est et on est dans les années 80 ! j'ai eu l'occasion de papoter avec lui, il est adorable en plus.
Marcus Miller, Wayne Braithwaite, Mark King, Pops Popplewell, Bernard Edwards, Freddie Washington are me favs!!! Of course not forgetting the OGs Thunder Thumbs and Larry Graham
Many opinions in this world, and when it comes to taste...they're all valid. Personally, I prefer the Thumb Bass sound. It is simply perfect, to my taste. =)
@@DiegoEstevezSitar ya I finally got a thumb after decades of wanting one The longer scale throws me a bit , good early primus sound . Craftsmanship surpasses all my other basses
Marcus Miller has been the ultimate deal for a long time as exemplified by his incredible releases and input to works by countless artists such as Dave Valentin, Fania All Stars, Eddie Palmieri, Bob James, Ralph Macdonald, Lonnie Liston Smith, Joe Sample, Roberta Flack, Patches Stewart, Tom Browne, Les McCaan, the Crusaders, Lenny White and the great and lovely Lalah Hathaway amongst many others.
I initially didn't understand MM and his slapping...Now I think I am mature enough to appreciate his technique is one of the best, someone can master during their lifetime.
I love David Sanborn, he’s one of my sax heros, but I swear every live video of him from the 80s looks like he spent the entire decade under the influence
Thanks! I've searched RUclips for years looking for a live Marcus Miller bass solo from back when he was teaming up with the likes of Dave Grusin, David Sanborn and Dave Valentin (GRP Records).
I love when he said in one of his interviews that: "Sticking to the same instrument and having a signature sound." Love it. I have a 5 strings and that's enough. One bass guitar 😊
@@albdoce You are right..I realized I was wrong right after,I hit "send"..I listen, for 4 notes, to the beat, not 3..Here I seem to mix the 2 up here..You are right..
@@albdoce I think you are a bass player.I saw a vid of Louis Johnson, from that period. For me, there is far too much repetition,of the same riffs.I think I too played like that then. That was the shit. Just slamming Octaves..Little more.. I am way over that...I know the Fans ..love this. and. they buy the tickets..
A lotta young “virtuosos” now. And they’re “hot” because RUclips allows them instant access to any and every technique you any to learn. But before RUclips Marcus miller, jaco, Stanley clark, jameron, Louis Johnson, paved these roads that these new hipsters now glide down on their skateboards. It sickens me when they act like the stuff Marcus and these guys did back then “ain’t nothin”
had to respond becouse of te hillariously exagetrated comparisons but nobody is pretending to be better that marcus miller or victor wotten, but what youre saying is a bit idiotic since youre basicaly saying that you dont allow young bass virtuosos
@@hippiejesusmanI get his point but obviously the world keeping going and continuously evolving...theres always going to be a new generation of talent but alot of times its the comment section and over exaggerated comments...emulating someone doesn't make you better than them. The solos showing off technical musicality is great but applying that in a musical situation with other musicians is a different story
Let's not forget how they cheat when they wrote as well. They literally use the computer to write their solos, then slow down the track and learn what the computer came up with bot by note until they can almost fake it live. Lol no band outside of the legends sound good live, all their bullshit falls apart in front of a live audience. These thieving parrots can create nothing on their own without older musicians of yesterday holding their hands. Take today's most popular genetic waste polyphia. Wow what amazing arrangements, they don't write. Watch the Ibanez showcase video from a few years back with the little punks, they can't improvise. You would get laughed out of any recording or rehearsal situation if you can't fricking improvise. Yet they exist today. A time and place where the average music listeners iq have sank so drastically fart noises are gonna be the next best selling album in a few years
The barts are quiet and clean due to the covered magnet design and still has a nice bite, but that fender growl is undeniable IYKYK. The Nords seem to be a more flat balanced tone which probably sound better in an active bass.
I recall, an interview where Marcus details his "Larry Graham influence..He said he played a show with, Larry. And. he said he didn't want to play any of Larry"s riffs in that show..Only to realize he had no other riffs to play..That's what I see here..Like someone stated,, Yes he has evolved..I have been his tech a time or two . I Played the Jazz bass you see..
That wasn’t played through SWR gear, this looks like it was played through an Acoustic 370 head. SWR was not founded until 1986 (5 years after this performance here was recorded).
It's all about his technique... ( His command of the instrument) He can get his sound out of most any equipment.... This Solo comes from the Casino Lights Album...

Marcus’ resume is incredible. From Luther Vandross to Miles Davis to solo artist! He’s a bass icon!!!
yeah, but his love has been jazzrock fusion,,, that's where instrumentalists can shine the most. miles, dave grusin, sanborn,,, and his solo career is fusion
As a kid I recall he also produced and played on Aretha Franklin's Jump To It album. So, he did a lot of amazing stuff at a very young age.
check out joe samples "ashes to ashes" album if you havent already. to me he is at is best when just playing the bass parts with nothing flashy
His style is timeless, still sounds great today.!!!
He’s got such a signature sound and style! 👌🏻
Today we’ve heard it all.. just imagine hearing that sound for the first time in the 80’s🎵🎶♥️😎
Larry Graham invented it in the 60d

Ce dude a le sens du groove associé à la technique. D'autres n'ont que le deuxième élément.
His style has evolved so much over the years.
But at the same time it remains unchanged
When you get to meet, get lessons from JACO PASTORIOUS...its a wrap....Jimmy Haslip also...
His face expressions are priceless!!!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍

All the basses in all the world can’t beat the

Your opinion. I'll take a Precision any day.
I agree, I love a P bass too but for slap the Jazz bass rules!

Yes he is high AF.
That was one of the first slap solos I learned not for note. I still use some of those phrases.
May the funk be with you

He actually looks older than he does now. Here’s to good health, Marcus. We need you!
So the conclusion is slap bass makes you younger, pure logic…
@@Cake_Dogeflea harvested the power of the slap bass to keep him younger. Most bassist prayed to bass 3 times a day that the secret

The only person who has crispy and low bass sound, untill now.
Live jazz Montreux Festival number one!
Exactly.
Sanborn always had great players in his bands. This guy is no exception! Don
The band was like, ok let Marc do his thing. Major salute
Thank you Marcus for being on our earth !!!!!!

That is what I’m talking about. He’s killing it.
He's playing an old Acoustic Control head. Not sure what model but looks like a 220 or 320. They are more hifi than you would think.
I think bass recorded through D.I. in this video...
That bass looks amazing
Doubting it the SAME as today..... (BEING HE MAKES HIS OWN NOW!!!) 😉
