Just the oldie style - all black and shiny, no Alembic decoration.

Nice bass, It look like Mark King personnal 1990 bass:

Wow, nnnnnnnnnnice bass!
 
MK's bass is beautiful too - I wish he still played Alembic onstage. The sound from his Status during the tour of the UK at the end of 08 wasnt the best to be honest.

I guess these guys are like the rest of us in some ways, we have a choice of instruments and want to give them all an airing now and again. Maybe that was Status bass day.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

'Fraid not Jazzy. MK uses his Status' (statii?) exclusively now ;-(  And for John, We saw the first night of the tour and I agree, the mix was appalling. Apparently, by the time he got back to england they were getting a really good mix.

I love this bass.  Seems like there aren't many standard point bodies in the FTC section these days...seems like there's a lot more MK's.

Will. The standard MK has a 'standard point' body. I think you're maybe getting confused with the Balance K body of which there do seem to have been quite a few made since it was introduced.
