This has to be the hippest interview I’ve ever heard on Marcus Miller’s career. Scott you asked pertinent questions we bass players wanted know, such as when did he get the preamp in his 77’ Jazz bass. I know a lot about Marcus(I grew up in Jamaica, Queens, NY), but the candor of this interview gets 5 stars. Keep it going Scott, the Bass community truly appreciates you and SBL!!

PINO!!! Just this morning, I listened to Vultures by John Mayer. I've heard that song 100 times, but today, I listened to only the bass. I CANNOT FREAKING BELIEVE how much his playing adds to that tune. The best part, though, is that I didn't realize JUST how good it was until I made the "effort." He somehow manages to CONSTANTLY play unbelievable licks without drawing attention to himself. On top of that, much of what makes his playing so tasty is not just the notes, but how he articulates them. He *speaks* bass like no other. I know I don't have to explain this. It's not like he's an obscure studio musician - haha. I was just SO blown away by his chops literally 12 hours ago. SO cool to have Marcus Miller on SBL! What a dream!

I had the opportunity to meet Marcus on two different occasions. One was Yoshi's San Francisco. We talked shop about his signature bass, which I own and the sound. At the time he was using DR strings. I mentioned I didn't really like the sound from DR strings. He was so kind as to tell me to use the strings that satisfy my sound, which at the time were GHS lites. I met him again at NAMM and mentioned we talk shop again and he told me to try the SWR preamp. He said that would wake the bass u[ even more. I just appreciated his modesty and his help. He helped me to appreciate, its not how good you are, but how you can help the next budding musician with tips and advice. Thanks my man....much appreciated!

His humility is also a trait that makes him the perfect dude to have running the rythym section and front man of his bands. Love his groove. I live in Greenwich Village and have seen Marcus in a few clubs play back in the day and also with such players as Victor, Steve and the great Stanley Clarke. WTF! Right....? And when a couple of these guys gets together, watch out! Thanks for the interview, Scott! Well done, Thanks Marcus, for being there man!

Scott, this is fantastic. I was already a bass head, grew up on jazz, funk and R&B, so naturally became a Marcus fan. But I'm 2 years older than him, and also grew up in Jamaica Queens so this whole conversation had me glued. You're a great interviewer and Marcus' demeanor is so down to earth for a legend that now I feel like I know this guy, who I never knew was my homeboy. I had a Japanese Fender copy (Teisco) that I bought on 48th Street in '74 when I was 17 and still have it! I can relate to everything, except I put my bass down for 30 years. Man, I wish I had really learned how to play. I might have met Marcus, Tom Browne, Omar Hakim and all the other legends who were my homeboys and I didn't even know. One of the few regrets I have. Keep up the great videos!

Great interview, Marcus Miller is the Man ! When I was 15-16 years old (In '81-'82) he along with Stanley Clarke and Mark King made me obsessed with the bass and the slap. When I got a bass at 18, the first bass line I started to learn was "Run for cover". Marcus is a immense talent, he brought so much to the world of the bass and the music.

Marcus Miller is an absolute King and thank you so much for this interview. Also you asked: I would love to see an interview with Sting. I know Sting can be hesitant about doing interviews though I love his sensibity and bass touch and would love to hear you talk with him about this deeper. Thank you for all you do.

Just watched Marcus Miller play at Ronnie Scott’s in London and it was an amazing time. All the musicians playing with Marcus are world class and they put on such a good show. Their tour manager is such a nice man, too, I can tell he’s taking care of the guys. And the bass tech is awesome, too. A great group of people I hope the rest of their tour goes smoothly and they have fun and get some rest, soon!

I mean, goes without saying but a Pino interview would be incredible. Another one I don’t see mentioned much, maybe because he’s a punk rock guy, but I absolutely love Matt Freeman from Rancid/Operation Ivy.

This interview is one of the best interviews of any type ever because Scott is so knowledgeable and also so charismatic that Mr Miller feels it's safe to be enthusiastic about his passion. A real joy.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS INTERVIEW. IT PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE! Shout out to Marcus and Omar for all they've done to inspire us musicians from Jamaica, Queens. Grew up on Linden Boulevard near the Rib Shack(Marcus knows what I mean LOL). Good to see Marcus still doing his thing! And, thanks to you Scott for all you've done. I'm a drummer. But, fool around on bass, and use a glove because of you when I use round round strings due to my neuropathy. Thanks Scott for the info about those scammers. They're out there and we always have to look out for them.

I just heard Marcus Miller at the Love Supreme Festival. I was blown away. I had never heard him as a solo artist until then and upon researching his bio he's played with all of my favorites such as Miles Davis. What a privilege it was to see him perform. Thanks for this amazing interview.

Marcus's bass lines have been my pandemic activities to deep dive and learn. Awesome interview For the next interview, could it be possible to get Colin Greenwood from Radiohead?

^ This. Please. Marcus and Colin are really more connected in my opinion than outward appearance would suggest, and fulfill their role as bass players so well while still experimenting.

Omg that would be so epic to get Colin Greenwood. The Radiohead guys are very difficult to get a hold of, but you’d have a good chance of asking him if you go to a Nick Cave show…he’s been playing bass for him recently. Ask him about what type of bass is being played on the studio version of I Might Be Wrong. It’s a crazy good bass line that sounds like it’s half electric bass and half synth bass. Good luck!

Brilliant! I'm watching this video with two windows open to KZbin: one for this interview, and a second one at the ready so I can pause the interview and go listen to the entire track of each song Marcus and you reference.

Wow, what a marvelous interview, and I’m not even a bass player! But still, to see and hear ( play and talk) someone of Marcus’s stature is a real treat, his anecdotes, his personality, his simplicity as a person, it’s really inspiring, the only shame is that throughout the interview I got the distinct feeling that we were witnessing a person of times gone by…there aren’t any Miles,Jacos, Zawinuls and the like anymore…got a bitter sweet taste after all.

I got my USA Fender Jazz from that exact street back in the mid 90s though and I still have it today! 😁 crazy cos I live in Australia. I was lucky enough to go there with family. When I heard that they no longer had that street full of music shops a few years ago it broke my heart! I still remember it like it was yesterday! Keven Bacon walked in with his son and bought some guitar leads and looked at me and rolled his eyes and looked back cos of the huge amount of paparazzi waiting outside 🙄😵‍💫 it as a Sam Ash Music shop that only had bass guitars!!! 4 stories high! I tried as many as I could and ended up with the USA Fender Jazz bass. An experience I will NEVER forget!
