Much of the "sound" is due to Marcus' technique. His exact set up could be duplicated, but his tone could still be hard to achieve. |

| | | | How can TONE have anything to do with the person? You mean if MM slaps a G on the E string of his bass, hands it to me and I slap it, the TONE produced would be different?
The difference is in his vibe, feel, technique, interpretation heart soul etc etc, not actual tone of the instrument - that's electronics, materials, construction amplification, effects processing etc. I've heard many MM basses and on some setups, the tone is identical to MM's.

Ash/maple next, ideally old. Onboard Preamp helps but not totally required. Then anybody with good technique should be able to get in the ballpark. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
