Marcus Miller

“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.”

Marcus Miller is pictured using the EBS ProLine 410 bass amplifier cabinet alongside his Fender signature bass and EBS HD 350. This setup is discussed in the Ernie Ball Forums, highlighting his gear preferences.

“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.

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

After Jaco Pastorius switched to using 410 cabinets, Hartke gave Jaco's 810 cab to other artists as they didn't have many cabs back then. After Jaco, it went on several Miles Davis tours with Marcus Miller.

“The Basswitch switches everything but my TONE! The boost function puts the bass right up front.”
