In a way you are right, Mark King is more sophisticated (especially with all that singing at the same time) I'd say but sound wise I preferred Louis Johnson with that thick sound.

This is still one of the best descriptions of Mark explaining in a short space of time that he always states his style is based like drumming on the bass guitar... When any friends or someone I've not long met , as me why I say this with regards to Marks playing , I either show them this or send the link to their phone & it always seems to be near the end when he's alternating between both hands thar sound like a drum beat , that usually the point they get what I meant... For those who've made statements of thst he's a god on bass guitar & obviously fans of Marks I always find it odd that 99% of them don't even know that Mark King is a naturally left handed , yet he plays his right handed bass in style he does , & I've always put this down to the fact that drummers have to try different patters & playing various way of playing but with both hand holding their drum sticks & no I'm not joking as its to early for an April Fools Day Joke , Mark is in fact left handed & try not to let your brains explode out your head when you read this... lol .....

He's genuinely superb and never gets talked about in the leagues of the best bass players, I guess because Level 42 were never that cool etc... he's also a seriously good guy who really loves his fans and loves what he does, seen them live a few times and it's really watching masters at work.

Hello brother, thanks so much for the video. I have a doubt: Is it possible to control the SR18's bass via MIDI via the keyboard, so it works as an auto accompaniment?
