BP: when you first hit that StingRay 2 band in the video...I smiled and thought "hey there it is"...the 70s all over again.

Big Thanks

Thanks for sharing this video, your knowledge and insight BP. I am happy I found this company, its products and all associated persons. I always feel like I am part of the family - not just a customer.

Great playing - great tones - everyone.

 

[spencer]

yes Leo put it there and it was the sweet spot...

I love the BOngo and play it mostly...(remember you guys see everytime I play live.....I did 5 clinics the CLB party and this one.... this year.I am rusty. I would love to play more and would not embarass myself if I could get about 10 gigs in a row.) I used to get to play more..... But I play ALL of our basses
It was a blast playing the two band stingray at the BPL....Backing down the treble and boosting the bass slightly with a flat mark bass sounds pretty good in that video to me....I love the Sterling and was my go to for many years... I could take any one of these bass to a desert isle.

hey you left out the big al!! It needs love too!

.. I could take any one of these bass to a desert isle.

But... where would you plug it in?

But... where would you plug it in?

(ducking)

To the supplied Markbass backline of course .

Ah, powered, no doubt, by the stationary bicycle generator built by the Professor out of bamboo, vines and coconuts....

More, Please....

Can we get more videos? This one was teriffic. Nice BP bass demo, too. Any Tony Levin video from this session? Thx...

 

[Sterling_Bass]

I love hearing all you have to say about the industry and the company's philosophy. Your playing impresses me more and more with each video EBMM posts.

 

[Aussie Mark]

You play great BP. Thanks a really cool video.

 

[Big Poppa]

thanks mark....

BP, just now getting around to commenting. Thanks so much for sharing. Sort of a video blog based on what you have shared in the past. I loved the roundtable with each player getting a bit of playing input. I love the tone of the 2 band you have there, that is what started my love of them way back when. I am certainly in line for a new one come NAMM this year!

Thanks again!

 

[oli@bass]

Thank you very much for making and sharing those videos! I envy all of those who were able to attend, and all the players for their skills. What a treat!

 

[drTStingray]

Great video. Interesting words, as always but the sound of those basses..........

That 2 band retro StingRay has got a great sound and the playing is real nice as well. As BP said - one trick pony it most certainly isn't.

Most of us know Tony Levin can play. A lot of people are finding out Dave Marotta is right up there with the best. Jennifer Young, while new, has kind of been on the rise lately, which she certainly deserves.

I know how good Sterling is. What's fun for me is watching so many others step back and go, "Whoa. I thought he was just the owner!"

And Sterling always brings new insight to the table. Great videos!

thanks Jackie I just wish I could play more (often....not notes).....it is still one of my very favorite things....I just have to accept what it is these days

 

[Drmckool]

Wow, this video is the best piece of marketing i have ever seen, even if it wasn't explicitly intended to be it. The second i saw the bass BP has i immediately wanted a Classic series and after hearing it play i wanted it even more. I just wish Steve's Music in Montreal wasn't so poor at getting in good basses so i could play and eventually buy one.

 

[steve f]

Cool clip - wish I could've been there but I couldn't. I appreciate the fact that this forum has kept me up to date regarding all the stuff that's going on.

 

[tkarter]

Wait till you get grand kids BP. They really cut into the playing time.

You still got some chops you old duffer.

I really enjoy watching Sterling talk about the industry. He really has seen this industry change alot over the last 40 years.

He knows how to keep things moving. Saturday at BPL the first roundtable was alot of fun and could have gone on much longer. Sterling does have chops and canplay his way around the fretboard. Maybe I'll twist his arm and see about a NAMM jam at the booth.
