Marcus Miller testing Mayones Patriot MR Fretless Bass at Namm Show 2015.

[@darkySp]

It's one of my dreams, as a bassist, to turn Marcus Miller's knobs while he demos a bass

[@Fr4gg3r2]

Probably, I wouldn't dare though 😂

[@potdragon8091]

You may have to buy him dinner before you can mess with his knob!🙃

[@darkySp]

@@potdragon8091 Oh, i'll buy him all dinners he deems necessary

[@AyoBaby]

😕

[@JIBIbaba522]

Aye yo kinda sus

[@tbassrollin5990]

I'm laughing at the 44 people who thumbs down the legend Marcus Miller. It's easy to hate when don't know the barrier this man knocked down to get where he is. As a teenager he traveled and played with other great legends that sat a precedented platform for us musicians today. He will be called to try out as well as be endorsed by other musical instrument makers. Thanks for professionalism Mr. Miller. Thanks also for your legacy. Your a true path layer!!!

[@OldRunt]

Why are your laughing? What are the reasons they don't like the video? Do you think they dislike Marcus because they don't like the video or the bass? Marcus is one of my favorite players but I don't like slapping on fretless basses. Am I a bad person? Do i not understand who he is or what he has done?

[@nsgobbi]

What a difference does it make if somebody else dislike or just think differently of us ?

[@Rastasandrainbows]

They could be disliking the video quality. Many reasons other than your assumption.

[@carkod]

There are all kinds of reasons why people thumbs down a video. This is a simple biased statistic you should't directly tie to hate. Some people may thumbs down because the recommendation was not of their interest, some people could do it by mistake, or some may be kids who don't even know what they are watching or they just like clicking things. Statistically the more people watch a video the higher the number of thumbs down, it's more mathematical than social. It's the course of nature

[@nsgobbi]

@@carkod 👍

[@elinaragon5051]

To be honest, Marcus is such a true professional that he makes this bass sound like his old Fodera, his Stingray, his Sire, every fretless he’s played. He knows how to get his sound on anything

[@mattpinkard3471]

Let's face it...it's easy to make someone want to buy your bass if you have Marcus Miller showcase it.

[@questcowboyz6844]

Matt Pinkard ... agreed... But it must be hard for a man when everywhere you go people are watching you

[@maintainlee6156]

Matt Pinkard ，I agree too ，just as me，I think I will if I am rich enough to afford that（QAQ）

[@LordGeyBoi]

Looks better suited if Les Claypool was playing it

[@kristofsznida724]

@@LordGeyBoi Yeah it kind of looks like a knock off Carl Thompson haha.

[@mikegordon7040]

Try having Stronce McThew demo your bass Good luck

[@TheRetroWoman80]

Fretless magic from a maestro!! I love his concentrated look every time he plays. I was so blessed to see him live 3 times at intimate venues. And each time he seemed so humble and willing to artistically open up and share.

[@davedwave7]

That’s awesome. I would love to see him live. He’s a one on a kind.

[@s4bre883]

Whenever I hear people slide on a fretless bass it just sounds like the bass is saying "meow"

[@angelmarrerochunkybass]

He's using it live now too. He was recently using the fretless Stingray on the recent tour. It sounds killer.

[@Muppio]

Just imagine Marcus Miller walking to your booth wanting to try your stuff.

[@watchmarley9268]

+Muppio That is what he is doing...

[@dguyiop8]

I would say "I'm busy go away"

[@the1khronohs40]

Wow, that's one sweet looking bass!!! Sounds awsome too👌

[@TenFalconsMusic]

Marcus: "Please don't touch my Mayonnaise while I'm playing."

[@Bubinga5]

You don't see many cats slapping a fretless. THE monster bass player. Very special musician

[@Bubinga5]

@@ZENSIBLE Well its not that common is it.?

[@skateforzero357]

It sounds so clean too

[@rommelrivera1186]

Marcus is a bass beast! His note precision with a fretless bass is flawless. I wish I could play my fretted bass that well! lol

[@Gallienkrueger1]

Damn this guy plays a fretless well. He is able to make you forget it's a fretless until he very tastefully uses it.

[@davewallace593]

Anyone care to comment on the intonation? As in - IMMACULATE.

[@christoskourtidis6530]

Looks so smooth and amazing bass

[@SuperTristis]

Mayones...zacna firma sie nam narodziła!

[@gdenyer]

How come Marcus doesn't age?

[@apdmtv]

He's afro-american, that's the secret. Like Tom Morello.

[@MrMousekillaz]

it's a bass thing, you wouldn't understand.

[@DavideDondiMusic]

I remember an interview where he said he took very care of his health, for example by spending his free time on tour in the gym as opposed to doing drugs and booze as a proper jazz player of the past would have done!!

[@s2mlr]

black don't crack

[@AyoBaby]

Mouse Killaz Definitely a bass thing

[@manny75586]

That is a gorgeous bass. It sounds great too but having Marcus Miller play it surely helps it to sound even better.

[@s2mlr]

gorgeous bass. omg.

[@rtgrooves3451]

Amazing

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]

Sweet!

O cara e foda ,muito swing .

Audio quality is VERY Important when showcasing a musical instrument. I’m sure that’s a great bass but I couldn’t tell you that from this video

[@karmakultivator]

Exactly!

i’ve always really enjoyed Marcus playing fretless.

[@russellgilbert3453]

Marcus is a BAD man!

3x MMM Marcus Miller Master

[@ericraudy]

Marcus Miller is my favorite bassist

[@sibro4747]

His fingers have a distinct sound, I love it

[@dougharlow6037]

So what's the advantage or disadvantage being Fretless, besides looking different?? I've been watching Marcus Miller and Richard Bona both are great but Marcus has the edge with his funky moves.

[@Jason5818UI]

marcus has funky Groove in his foundation foundation and a style that separates him from all other bassist

[@Jonjzi]

I guess this answers Patrick's question.

[@tonisiret5557]

It's music, not just rapid slapping.

[@bigfluff9069]

*angry Davie504 noises

[@newage5d831]

Slapping the pentatonic blues scale for 30 years... So glad there are other players out there opening up new horizons... Jaco, Gary Willis, Hadrien Feraud, Anton Davidyants... I really prefer their fresh vision and new sounds

[@AlexandarShmex]

Jaco and Gary Willis are new?!

[@DaveRucci]

Beautiful bass. Not a bad guy to showcase it either 🤘🏻

Marcus Miller is the KING at fast Fretless Bass but Victor WOOTEN is the KING at Slap Fretless Bass and Victor WOOTEN's way of playing is so DOPE and rhythmic

[@emmanuelsaint-marc3049]

Thanks for your thumbs up 😉

[@thulanimichael8062]

I thought it was Keni Burk , I looked closely I realised it's not him .

[@snackersnew]

why is an instrument called mayonnaise?

[@JESTAN63]

This is the nickname of one of the factory owners.

[@hahmmo]

No choice becuz remaining options are mustard or ketchup..

[@chiaroscuro58]

Just add tuna, salad, onion, etc... 😋

[@nenadbelosevac1382]

👍

[@jcout25]

In order to sound that good on a fretless, you gotta practice on one. This man is too dedicated.

Why is he slapping on a fretless bass?

[@juxtaposeism]

because he can

[@dm919]

Ever hear of Les Claypool? Also-because he is Marcus f-ing Miller, and you aren't!

[@jimmychristensen7112]

If you have money enough, or being endorced, then its no problem..but "normal" fretless players would not slap a fretless..it will destroy your fingerboard..normaly you will allso not be doing any stringbending, it will eat up the fingerboard..specialy if its a soft wood, like rosewood...but if money is not a concern, then go ahead

[@nathaniellollis3868]

Because he CAN!!!!!

[@chiaroscuro58]

but he shouldn't! Slappin on a fretless is a deadly sin. Even for Marcus 😤

[@williamcardin3634]

Bet Marcus was the buyer. He makes that bass sing.

[@ownih]

Playing with knob I see

I don't believe Marcus is big proponent of 5 and 6 string basses ...he appears to be more of a 4 string traditionalist.

凄く値段が高いベースですよね😭

[@thescatman5029]

1) Love the player, but you can have the bass; 2) Slapping on fretless; only the masters do that! 3) Dear employees: only the person playing adjusts the knobs on the bass! Get the bleep outta here!

[@Gravyea]

All thumb my goodness Sire fretless sounds better

[@cedced734]

why 81 dislike

Great player, but fretless still sound like tonal farts.
