Forever Now
Last updated on 15 years ago
Hi guys
Do any of you learned folks know which bass(es) Mr King used whilst recording Forever Now?
On some of the tracks his sound is very Status-like but I'm not sure that he was using them then, and on others it's very Musicman-ish! Don't think there's any Alembic on there though.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated!
Jay

Forever Now is my favourite L42 album :)

Forever Now is one of my favourites too! I believe most of the tracks feature Musicman's, but on 'Talking in your sleep' he used an Alembic for sure...

You can actually see the 4-string Ray leaning against the Trace amplifier.

I think you're right Andy, judging by Marks hair, weight and attire!

The B-sides songs "Past lives" and "The bends" were recorded with a Status bass I think.
On this picture, Mark used a 5 string EB Stingray, yes, this is the Guaranteed recording, and on the Forever Now he used red finish 4 and a 5 string MM bass, maple fingerboard.
On the Past Lives, Play Me, The Bends, Heart On The Line etc. we hear MM basses.

Thanks André !
I'm not too sour about The Bends, but on Past Lives, it really sounds more like a Status bass than a MM, don't you think ?
