This thread went from a really good one to one that absolutely sucks.

I've already seen a bass that I really want, unfortunately it doesn't have the purpleheart laminates but it'll still be a top bass , also it's at the top end of my budget

Potentially

Looking for a cheap jazz for those moments I wanna get a Marcus miller'y, jaco' tone Is the squier classic vibe/vintage modified the best way to go?

Jaydee guitars do a fantastic job, and are real cheap too!

Level 42 - to be with you again The police - spirits in the material world The beatles - paperback writer Etc

Gb spitfire: thought it would be a great modern jazz, but couldn't get on with the neck, shame as it was stunning to look at and to listen to The opposite is the Kingbass artist: after wanting one for years I got one and it's exceeded my expectations so much

We all like what we like... I've had jazz basses, musicmans, ibanez, fleabass etc, just so happens I like the basses and sounds that marks had

Look at that price tag

Amazing!

Just live , Rutherford did the bass on the albums

Love the sound of Daryl stuermers Shergold modulator on this classic genesis number What do you guys think? Also if ever you see one for sale, holla at me http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U77ZV2-UkdE

[quote name='4000' timestamp='1389941304' post='2339711'] I think he sounds very different on all his basses. My favourite was his Alembic sound. Not overly keen on his Kingbass sound, which is far too pingy for me. [/quote] Lets not get off topic

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1389907933' post='2339523'] Bear in mind Marcus, if you are Mark King aficionado, that the Alembic MK model bears only a scant relationship to the actual Alembics Mark King plays. His basses are far more upmarket examples. The only thing the more standard versions of his signature model have in common is that, for some reason, they have his name associated with them . Not that any of that makes much difference because, lets face it, Mark King makes all his basses sound the same, anyway. His playing style is a great leveller. [/quote] Yeah he played 2 medium scale series 2 basses , I just may consider getting a mark king signature, aparently they have a bit more useable tone and obviously the price, even second hand is like half

Loved my 5 string! Would buy another if one came up

Thanks again guys so far , that alembic club is very good! Lots of information and lovely pictures not doing my gas any good at all!

Great playing , and lovely sound! Hadrien has become one of my influences in recent times, absolutely love his version of I can't help it from a music show a few years back, it's on YouTube check it out

Thanks for the opinions so far guys , one might be on it's way later in the year, so just thought I'd build up expectations

If anyone has owned or played one I'd love to hear your verdict

I love my Kingbass mk1 artist and I'm going to be recieving a Kingbass 2 headed next month . Safe to say they are perfect instruments for me Hope you get one very soon my friend

Will get one one day
