Just got back from seeing Marcus Miller in Guildford (courtesy of Anderton's who sell his Sire signature bass).
AMAZING. What a player, what a guy. Hugely entertaining and informative, wonderful stories about Miles, Jaco, Larry Graham and more. And he really wanted to play - and did! Stunning stuff.
Sound wasn't good TBH but I got used to it.
I didn't get a pic with him (I'm too old to have a smartphone) but got him to sign some LPs and CDs; his own "Sun Don't Lie", a couple of Sanborns ("my favourite" he said as he signed the "Upfront" CD booklet) and my LP copies of "Tutu" and "We Want Miles". A very nice man indeed.
Well worth £10.
Comments
As a Sire user, I'd love to hear what he had to say about his range and what he was coaxing out of it and how he was setting the preamp controls.
Was he using his signature gear i.e. Sire basses and Markbass amps?
