Sign in to disble this ad
Do you guys have ideas of the string (flat or round) that Marcus Miller used on the below songs???
I know he used DR fatbeams on hid fodera emperor 5 with ebony fingerboard, but not on the belows:

1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvtjA7__EqY
Bass: Fodera Monarch; Fingerboard: (unfinished?) rosewood
Solo started 5:46

2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAcPNSX1Naw
Bass: Fodera Monarch; Fingerboard: (unfinished?) rosewood
Solo started 1:50

3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkLBjuPfo2w
Bass: Fender jazz bass; Fingerboard: ebony (??looks like)

4) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXFLnoYzOOU
Bass: Fender jazz bass; Fingerboard: rosewood (??looks like)
Solo started 5:13

I'm thinking to have a new fretless but can't choose from ebony and rosewood / string (flat vs round)......

Willing to have your views/thoughts.....

On his Fodera Monarch 4 Fretless (the one that he used on Miles' Tutu), he used round wound strings...

Hi Jason,

Really???
So how did he treat with scratching of fingerboard???
Did he maintained his fodera by Fodera Guitars???

Furthermore, hoe Fodera guitars treated with rosewood fretless???

Thank you very much.
