I know that the ones on stage are quite crappy but again I have an ultra cheapo digital camera. I will try to get the other ones as well, I promise!!

I have also included 2 pics of my Sterling in its pre-Miller life....

ENJOY!!! :D




I also remembered that the MAD magazine gives a FREE three year subscription to the readers who got photos of themselves with celebrities!

OK EBMM, instead of a free SUB-Scription could you please give me a free SUB-Sterling fretless :D ? After all I made you proud in front of an audience full of Fender fans..... ;)

Hey well done - who is next? Flea? Wooten? Pics are pretty good.

Looks like that bass will have to go in its case for posterity....time for a new sterling!
 
That's awesome Manta! Seriously, and does Marcus Always wear that hat? In either case, way to show 'em how it's done.:D:D
 
Way cool.

You might have to stick with that 3 string playing. Popping the D...!

One of my friends was a room mate with Marcus back in the 70s in NY, and produced sessions w/ Marcus back then, and says he's a very cool, laid back, regular guy....who also happens to be a total virtuoso!
 
Question, did your G break or do you always have it off? I think taht wouldnt bee too friendly on the neck/?
 
Thanks for the replies guys!!!


The 3 string bass was not on purpose!

I always play using 4 strings.

The thing is that I broke the G and I didn't wanna spend any money on a new set the last couple of weeks(I sound like Scrooge I know) because I'm buying stuff for my studio back home so every penny is important.

The good thing when breaking a string is that actually you can learn the instrument better if you keep practicing without replacing it. At least it works for me. Also that way, if during a slap solo on a gig a string breaks(unlikely but anyway) you can continue like nothing ever happened impressing even more the audience.


For the rest of the photos, I went over to SC yesterday(the guys there remebered me and my playing!whoa I'm a celebrity! ;) ) and they told me that apart from the individuals, most of the pictures were taken by Fender and EBS. Actually it was a Fender organized event in which I made EBMM proud :) !!!

BTW, I didn't get any reply about the SUB Fretless...... :cool: ;)

Three strings was good enough for Tony Levin.

Seems that the custom made 3 string SR is now in "flame burnt" finish...
