  1. Time to send my Musicman 5 on to a new home... This beautiful 5 string sounds like a classic stingray (think Tony levin / Bernard Edwards / Flea / Timmy C). It looks and sounds fantastic and is a workhorse bass, with a lovely feel when playing. The low B sounds deep and full, and it has a 6-bolt neck plate and a 3-way lever selector for the active Musicman humbucker with Alnico pole pieces. Available for pickup, or, if reasonable, I can drive out to meet you somewhere. Flight case included. Serial #: E64898 Manufactured: January 30th, 2008 Build Code: 150-76-11-05-CS-CR Model: StingRay5 H Color: Pacific Blue Burst Neck: Maple Neck Maple Fretboard Matching Headstock Hardware: Chrome
  2. Good point, well raised. :-) I've shot the first 8 / 9 videos in one set, so that gets us through the first 2 months, but after that, I'll mention the note names. Initially, i didn't want to scare off people who don't know their fretboard too well..... y'know - lull them into a false sense of security and then BAM - hit them with note names for a lick in F# Major :-))) Dm
  3. Hey guys and girls, My second lick of the week is on the blog. This one's a smooth, melodic fill that works great over a minor chord. http://blog.basschat.co.uk/dave-marks-lick-of-the-week-02/ Also, I've just spotted a rather fabulous video on Youtube in which Patryk Sznajdrowicz creates a sweet funk groove and then works in Lick of the Week #1! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnYZGjcv1a0 Great to hear someone incorporating this lick into their playing - I'd love to see more videos! Also, if any of you have any requests for the 'type' of licks you'd like to see (style, key, technique etc) comment on my blog posts - I'm all ears.... :-) Dave

  5. Hi guys, I'm just 700 views away from breaking through the 4 million point! I'm gonna smash through it today, so here's a clip of D Tr3o bringing some New Orleans funk to the standard 'Freedon Jazz Dance': http://youtu.be/Xkp5Qmwc2GM Hope you enjoy it , Dave
  6. It's Friday and therefore time for a new clip from D Tr3o (featuring special guest @martin shaw on trumpet), Darby Todd on drums, @John Wheatcroft on Gtr and yours truly on bass. This one's a nice slow tempo minor Blues with a hip hop groove. Check it! http://youtu.be/aBT24m2_euA
  7. Thanks for all the kind words guys - It's an absolute joy to play with a drummer like Darby. He's world class, for real. One of the most underrated drummers there is.... I'll get more clips up soon :-)
  8. Hi Guys, I've started posting videos on youtube from my recent gigs. The first one is the Billy Cobham tune 'Red Baron' given a thorough funking :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdzMkW01U98

  14. I've just posted a little write up with some pics and vids I've culled from Youtube, outlining my experience of the show. Feel free to pop along and have a read if you have a few spare minutes. It has a fantastic story about Mark King in there..... :-))))) [url="http://davemarks.com/the-london-bass-guitar-show-part-1/"]http://davemarks.com/the-london-bass-guitar-show-part-1/[/url] d
  15. I was at the London drum show last year, and the bass show is being arranged by the same people, so it bodes well. A nice mix of trade stuff, bargains and competitions, a great main stage auditorium and a great sized masterclass room. As long as the lineup is sexy, it'll be a great weekend.... d
