The sound waves from his bass can actually be heard through the vacuum of space.

His deep low down bass solos have created tsunamis 2 continents away

His neck is fast and plays like buttah. So does his bass.

He doesn't serve the music. The music serves him.

Interestingly, the actor who portrays "the most interesting man in the world" is actually New York City born actor Jonathan Goldsmith and not Mexican and does not speak with a Spanish accent.

Jonathan Goldsmith on Charter Communications Local Edition with host Brad Pomerance - YouTube

He can get Justin Chancellor's tone from a Squier Affinity bass starter kit.

He can play F flat and B sharp.

His bass is the best bass for metal.

He doesn't select notes. Notes beg him to play them.

He only plays in the key of "interesting".

He makes the Gene Simmons Axe sing like a Stradivarius.

He trims his beard with a pick-up cover from a 1962 P bass.

He truly is the most interesting bass player in this or any other world.

His bass has a coffee-table top and a tort guard and flats.

If you bring $5,000 to the Rainbow on Sunset, Lemmy will play on your record. If you bring your first-born son to the residence of the Dalai-Lama in the Himalayas, this man will let you play on his.

He taught Bootsy Collins what 'the one' is.

Sid Vicious didn't die - he left to learn jazz after seeing this man play. He's still working on it.

I didn't believe the actor was necessarily doing anything more than acting

Something I find interesting is the number of actors on American TV that are actually putting on an American accent.

He recently sat in on a jam at the Regina Casino. Seismic vibrations from his B string were misinterpreted as a small localized earthquake on the Manitoba – Saskatchewan border. As it was a small bar, he used only the half stack, a 4 by 24 at 4.5kw (8 ohms)

He could outplay the genetically created child of Jamerson, Wooten, Pastorius, Burton, Entwhistle and Graham with a Squier Affinity, (the budget version of Squier) with 3 broken strings, the only remaining string out of tune, the intonation wrong, action high enough to get a small car under and with only 1 finger.

Without the bass being plugged in.


He has no need for effects, he can make his fingers sound like envelope filters, phasers and flangers

Mark King changed his name to Mark Peasant after hearing this Dionysius of the bass.
He uses Fender ashtray bridge-covers as ashtrays!!! But these are for his friends as He is too cool to smoke.

His new amp design made Jimmy M give up his Ampeg endorsement.

He doesn't date women he dates succubii because he can cater to their demonic needs.
He sold the Mothman bass because it was too light and he said it had neck dive.

The earthquake that caused the Fukushima nuclear plant to melt down wasn't natural, it was caused by his bass sound waves carrying through the Pacific Ocean.

He doesn't need fanned frets. The frets open up and invite him in.
