“The best tone I have ever had as a professional bass player comes from Markbass bass amps,” says Jeff. “I’ve noticed that bass players that use Markbass have the opportunity to take from these amplifiers whatever tone they individually hear. Every time that I’ve ever plugged into a Markbass amplifier, I’ve been knocked out.”

Jeff Berlin | Devil Bass WARNING: “This is the hugest 25 seconds of bass we ever heard. Don’t play this too loud!” |
“Markbass makes the best bass amp I ever used. This is no secret that I feel this way. Just for fun, I went into the studio last week in Milan and played some tracks as duets with the great drummer Danny Gottlieb. When the session was over, I asked Sabino, the great engineer that recorded us to allow me to overdub my bass by playing a few seconds of a simple bass part, a long Bb, up to a F, down to Bb and then down to my low F. Then I asked him to put it through every overdrive situation that he could, to make a bass tone that maybe has never been made before. Those four notes turned into something like the devil himself emerging into this world. This is maybe the hugest 25 seconds of bass that I am aware of and I thought that you might enjoy hearing it.”

“I recorded two duets with Danny Gottlieb while we were in Milan for Markbass. Danny is playing Mark Drum’ new electronic drum set. I’m playing through two Jeff Berlin 15 inch cabinets. The jazz tune was a one take fun demo and the second tune shows Danny overdubbing four times on his drums. He sounds like a percussion orchestra. I overdubbed a solo and then vamped going out of the track. Fun stuff and listen to that amazing bass tone on the second track. Every single note from me, and every single beat from Danny are clear as a bell, typical of the Markbass brand. They just build great tone into everything they build.” |
