Mark Kings Amp settings and EQ Jaydee tone nobs

[BassByBeck]

Looking to see if anybody knows what 3 band EQ settings Mark used on his bass in the early 80s and his amp settings.

Strangely, he was only using the bridge pickup with mids and treble quite high on the bass, and not that much bass there.

 

The amp was quite the same.

 

This allowed him to play slap and fingerstyle during the same "song" without bothering about the EQ.

Thanks! Im still doing my research on any live performances that show the amp settings. 

Cheers!

Mark is using his Jaydee's again nowadays, so check new footage as the quality will be way better. 😉

No, Mark is using his Jaydees again nowadays, no apostrophe needed. Pedant revenge, there... 😉

So, if I understand it correctly, Mark is using his Jaydees again nowadays, because he doesn't need an apostrophe.

 

Right?

 

Ultra pedant revenge. 😉🫨🤔🤦🏻😂

I found this old article @BassByBeck, might be a very interesting reading for you and a good starting point to get that Mark King early tone: http://www.gazzbass.com/articles/articles.aspx?ID=5

 

By the way, don't worry about thread derailing, it's BassChat's signature. 😉
