Marcus Miller

"The former is what I’ve always played on, with my ’77 Jazz Bass. An ash body and maple neck makes for a bright sound for slapping because the woods are so hard, but for fingerstyle you have to work a bit harder to make the notes jump out. With an alder and rosewood combination, fingerstyle seems to jump out more, but you can slap on it, as well. That’s the main difference, so we offer both."

“When I started on the New York session scene, the B-15 was the bass amp you saw in every studio. By 1983 or so, you stopped seeing them; bass players were recording direct by then. But I did a lot of early sessions using a B-15. If you listen to Luther Vandross’s Never Too Much album, you can hear it. Engineer Michael Brauer made a little ‘house’ for the amp, from baffles and blankets, so the sound wouldn’t leak into the other instrument mics. I think engineers liked the warm, tube-y sound of the B-15, combined with the small, unobtrusive size.”

From EBS official site: "The Working horse of the pros. EBS Tube Definition (TD) heads have served big productions such as world tours with Bon Jovi, Kid Rock and Tina Turner, intimate tours with demanding bass players like Marcus Miller as well as loud and rough tours with hard working bands like The Haunted (with well over a 1, 000 gigs on EBS TD heads) or Danko Jones." http://www.ebssweden.com/content/td660.php

“I'm excited to announce that I'm joining forces with Markbass Amps, we're looking forward to doing some very cool things together this year. Keep an eye on us!” An album entitled Renaissance is long overdue for the widely acclaimed Renaissance Man Marcus Miller. In among the most enviable careers in music, Miller is a two-time Grammy-winner and the composer/producer of ten critically acclaimed and genre-defying albums (seven studio and three live). Even the most devoted follower may be astonished to realize that Renaissance is only his eighth studio project since his 1983 debut, Suddenly, considering the abundance of occasions Miller’s name has appeared within album credits and that he has dazzled with performances, compositions and productions – in the company of some of the world’s most respected and accomplished players and superstars - from the mid-`70s to the present.
