Bass playing made easy

Steve Lawson and the new Markbass Combo

Steve Lawson at the London Bass Show 2012 gives a tour of his gear, then plays Small Marvels from 11 Reasons Why 3 Is Greater Than Everything.

He makes it look so easy, effortless.

The reverb, the delay, distortion, fade, is not gear that lies somewhere between his guitar, that processes the sound when it leaves the guitar strings and reaches our ears, it is as much part and parcel of the instrument he plays, a holistic whole, as the bass guitar.
