Yeah man, but he's still playing bass. The midi is no huge secret. It's a big part of MK's sound on a lot of songs. Hot Water is probably the best example.

But to imagine that he can't play the line all the way through if he wanted to is pretty ridiculous. I know that's not what you're saying, but of course some idiot will think that.

Another good reference, same beat, maybe(?) without a click/sequencer augment; check out Eyes Waterfalling here on youtube.

At 4min 32 sec you can see Mark stop slapping the bass but you still hearing the bass slap sound... hummmmm

Love Mark but a little help doesn't mean he isn't the best!

the video and audio is about 10 frames off... when you sync them up, he stops when the audio stops... he's playing... it's not like he's "trying to be good and playing the line"... he's just playing the bass line he wrote!

the video is out of sync with the sound :p

I disagree... The bass is playing throughout the whole song. The Keyboard part is in a higher octave, only on "&a" not on the down beat.

Mark's bass has such a distinct sound, and I hear it throughout the entire song. Note wise, it's a simple bass line, but the rate of the right hand slapping and the slow singing juxtaposed makes this much harder than it seems.

punorss is right.
you can hear the slap only sometimes, but mark king still being one of the best bass player. it's quite hard to sing and do slap at the same time

Punorss, would this be the same Roland rack midi squencer he used when in the same show he did a duo head on with Nigel Kennedy?

They (Mike Lindup) does use a click and bass sequence track, but believe me Mark does play it as well.
