urb Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hey folks! A heads up for a live webcast of Marcus' gig tonight at The Parasiso in Amsterdam - it starts at 7.30 - the streaming is really high quality so that means good audio and visuals - check it out here: [url="http://www.jazzwise.com/news/item/7226"]http://www.jazzwise.com/news/item/7226[/url] Hope some of you can watch it - I'll be out...doh! The gig is archived though so you can watch it again whenever. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bass in my avatar is myu custom fretless five string - made by Brighton luthier Jeff Chapman - it's one piece of African mahogany quarter sawn and shaped into a lovely bass - sounds on my Myspace page BTW - the fingerboard is ebony - and that's a ramp between the pickups Pics here: [url="http://www.munkio.com/jeffchapman/flynn_fretless.html"]http://www.munkio.com/jeffchapman/flynn_fretless.html[/url] Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urb Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Show's almost started! The quality is good - bear in mind it's a live stream - they have to keep the picture small - the sound should kick ass tho - I have some big speakers plugged in!

Late again lol[/quote] Yeah I agree - but I'm usually early...Dare I say Marcus may have partaken of some Dutch 'hospitality' - anyway so far so good - I'm impressed with the camera work and the quality is superb - webcasting has really improved since the early days...

urb Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Go Poogie! Hey a fretless Fender too!!! I've heard that Marcus is looking at other amps to endorse - I have to say that I got tired of my EBS sound - it's great gear but tends to favour the slap bassist - and I'm much more into fingerstyle now - I love my SWR combo and Epifani 502 This is a wicked gig - I'm gonna check him in London on Nov 5 and 6 M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Cooke Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 it's good... but I've abandoned watching it live... I kept getting breaks in the stream... I'll catch it tomorrow when it's in the "archive"... they've got loads of good stuff in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickThomas Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Awesome .. Thanks for posting that Mike!! Was a great show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urb Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Sweet guys - I really dug it - I surprised myself and watched most of it - didn't get too many dips in the signal - now off to watch the new episode of Heroes - sorry I am addicted to that bloody show - and I've already seen the latter half of it so I know what happens at the end - still really good tho. I wish we could have more of these live streamed gigs - I think it could catch on this internet thing... - I'll let you know if I get sent any others in advance of them happening. Take it easy out there - no binge drinking now!!!! M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I only watched it till about 9. I loved it - but did get a little tired towards the end.. Whilst amazing music - the extremely long jams in songs did start to bore me, with it not really sounding like the song they were playing at the start. Maybe it's just me but I expect a song to be recognisable during any part of it... I was impressed with Marcus's sax playing though.. wow those things go low.

Machines Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Was it not a baritone sax ? I don't really know anything about wind/brass instruments.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmandan Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) ..... got me thinking now?!? He does play sax, although I've never seen him play a Bari before...... maybe he whipped one out quickly while I went to make a cuppa anyway, he was definately playing a Bass Clarinet at one stage, similar range to the Baritone Sax and shaped very much like a Sax too with bent over silver crook and bell, but with the main shaft being typically wooden; hence the amazingly haunting sound, over the raspy honk of the Bari (not that that's a bad thing of course, still gives me the shivers when Dick Parry kicks in with one on Shine On You Crazy Diamond!)
