Kawentzmann Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 1057 Berlin, Germany	Posted on Feb 13 2024 12:35 PM Hearing it again, it's very, very close to Jet Harris' Bass VI, so probably a Fender. — The Exotic Guitar of Kahuna Kawentzmann You can get the boy out of the Keynes era, but you can’t get the Keynes era out of the boy.

Steve_Pisteve Joined: Jan 15, 2023 Posts: 22 Budapest	Posted on Feb 14 2024 01:38 PM I had a quick look on Google, somehow using my non-existent knowledge of Italian language, and it seems Marc 4's bassist passed away in November last year. There is a picture of him in the studio playing a bass I can't pretend to be able to identify, but apparently enjoying his work. https://www.colonnesonore.net/news/eventi-e-ultime-notizie/9519-ci-ha-lasciato-maurizio-majorana-membro-degli-storici-marc-4.html I first heard Marc 4 on a couple of tracks on this compilation record, which I got when it came out in 1998 and which has been a favourite of mine ever since: https://www.discogs.com/release/1380292-Various-Stroboscopica Last edited: Feb 14, 2024 13:40:04 Top
