brilliant. I love how it's such a complicated bass line but doesn't need to be. Perfect

[@marcusbellbass1375]

Yeah, this is a great song :)

[@jbhk7977]

You nailed it my friend. When I hear a Jaydee, I miss the S3 I had 20 years ago. I had it made by John Diggins and it had the cocobolo top. I sold it when I lost interest in playing for a while. Strange thing is, I regret selling it the same day I sold it and I miss the bass ever since. Long story short . . . never sell your bass. All the best from the Netherlands.

[@marcusbellbass1375]

My brother and me were stood next to you at the Level 42 gig last month. What a small algarithmic world we live in! Figured you were a Bassist from your familiarity of Bass guitars. Very fine cover!

[@michaelb.42112]

This is one of Mark's toughest bass line. Outstanding job !!! Add to that he's singing the lead, too. Mind boggling. That's Geddy Lee territory.

[@marcusbellbass1375]

Thanks so much! ☺️

[@Generalbas1972]

ahhhh it's not one of his toughest tbh. it's actually pretty easy

[@VBMSerenity]

Except Geddy didn't rarely if ever pop the bass like Mark.

[@jaydeebasssociety268]

Most competently performed on a lovely Series 3 model, Mr. Bell. The Roadie is traditionally a Series 3 body if I'm not mistaken.

[@marcusbellbass1375]

Ah cheers! The Roadie model is mainly seen as a Series 2 really, but can be ordered in any shape!

[@jaydeebasssociety268]

[@markcoleman4445]

Fantastic job!

[@KK96303]

My old Jaydees need new pots. I need to take out the circuit board and read the pot values. The controls are either wide open or closed. I wish John would redesign the circuit board with a better design. Even Mark King has been having problems with his new cherry red that he ordered from John three years ago.

[@stugoodman7407]

Top job as always Marcus. Nailed the tone!

[@marcusbellbass1375]

Cheers buddy!

[@rainblaze.]

This is how a bass should sound rubbery and bouncey

[@MarkyBoy62]

Nice one bro, I knew you would nail it

[@marcusbellbass1375]

Thanks man!

[@iloveesr]

That was awesome. Mark King is a fantastic bass player, and this is one of his more technical bass lines.

Not only do I wish I could play like that, I would also like that bass:)

[@dslapster64]

Well done sir again, what are the biggest differences between the JD and the Alembic? Which one do you prefer?

[@marcusbellbass1375]

Honestly, apart from the look they couldn’t be more different… Alembic has the single pickups and therefore sound extremely clean but with the character of the woods selected. Jaydee has the split coil pickups so have more mids and therefore are a bit more characterful, which can be good and bad depending on the situation you’re playing in. All I can say is the Alembic has been way more usable in ‘normal’ music situations, they never sound out of place and I always have had massive compliments on tone.

[@dslapster64]
