He always 'pretends'... He actually can't play the bass.

It's Mike who's the genius bass player.

Honest!

He actually pretended to play it for :27 .....

Well that's a first!!

I would have imagined it was a German TV station but it's Spanish!

Well found!

This is not a real live gig, but a unique event, when Mark "used" a Warwick Thumb JD model:

Double LOL

I wondered that about one of his other basses so I wrote and asked him if I could buy it. He's a good guy. He replied saying no you can't. Trouble was he couldn't spell can't.

He doesn’t seem to be using this bass! Do You think He would sell it to Me cheap??? LOL

B

But it seems that on the video a phenolic fingerboard bass is, while your Strata has an ebony one.
Am I right?

Thanks for posting !

Looks a lot like mine

Lovely ping, growl & grind !! (back in the day I always wondered why I couldn't get that sound out of my Jaydee LOL)

Prophet 5 synth is great too...

Two videos, the very first and the famous Status (or Strata?) sound from the good (g)old True Colours album:

I hope that on one day Rob will bring back the Ovangkol + Maple body combo again. Pure, clear, dynamic and raw power sound wood combination. The walnut+maple is close but not equal to this one...

This is a very good bass.

Right On Mark.

Seems like he’s moved on to the t-bass in level 42 as well

I think for Gizmodrone he's gone for a really removed sound than the L42 stuff, different amps too from what I saw. Still L42 are back out on the road now so I guess he'll be back on a famaliar set up.

New year - new bass. I think he is reading in my mind, since I always thinking about the sound of his Status PJ Matrix from Hammersmith '90 gig. When he came out with the 30th Kingbass with the JJ pickup config, I wondered why it was not a PJ?

Now, he has a new bass, seems to be a T-bass, with PJ pickup configuration and a standard 2 band EQ(?)
Or a stacked knob Paramatrix? Four stacked knobs could cover a full Paramatrix control. Vol/Balance, Bass/Treble, High Mid/Freq, Low Mid/Freq.
Anyway this new bass has 19mm standard string spacing, so it could be a normal bass for average people as well

Any chance of a link??
