Marcus Miller's Bass Guitars
"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."

In this Instagram post we can see young Marcus Miller playing on a fretless Kramer 450B, when he played with Lenny White. It can be heard in the song Night Games. It appears this picture was first posted on Marcus Miller's facebook.
In an interview posted in 2008 by fretlessbass.com, he says :
"I got my first fretless bass at age 17. It was a Kramer with a metal neck and a forked headstock. Kramer was nice enough to give it to me when I was in Lenny White’s fusion band."
