Hello Alembic community, here is my humble input for the drool pages. It's a 94 Mark King Standard with feather flame walnut top and side LEDs (no picture yet).

Nicer pictures than the actual ones on CNN I hope. Peace, brothers and sisters ! Werner, Cologne/Germany
Ok guys ... stand back .. watch out for the drool on your key-board ... don't forget to wipe your screen after you tried to climb into the screen.
Werner ... WEW!!!
The pictures _technically- are amazing- but am I right that there is a yellowish bias due to artificial lighting???
And Werner ....WEW 2
You play GLOCKENKLANG!
Like I do (I think there is one more guy)
WEW
(I keep on wewing)
Hi Paul,
thanks for the flowers. I was using 12V halogen lamps to illuminate the pictures so the bias is possible. But I am not a passionate photographer actually I didn't even own the camera I took the photos with. I just borrowed the camera (Nikon coolpix) from a friend because I don't have a digital camera (I need all my money for the music ;-)
The picture with the Glockenklang was from the previous owner. Believe it or not: I used to play Glockenklang but sold it because I was looking for a more flexible equipment. My actual rig consists of a TC1140 parametric EQ and a QSC RMX2450 PA. Both channels of the QSC goes directly into a SWR Megoliath 8*10 cabinet. The Megoliath consists of two independent 4*10 cabinets and the upper one has an additional Fostex horn. That's all. The headroom and the clarity of this setup is incredible and the TC is the most flexible EQ I know of. I also have a TC Triple C Multiband compressor which I am only using when I play Rock Tunes (getting less every day). For Jazz, Soul and Funk (getting more every day) I don't use it.
But don't get me wrong: Glockenklang builds very high quality amps and cabinets. It just didn't fit right to me.

That bass is about as humble as Alan Iverson!! Beautiful figuring on that one Werner.
Peace,
James
thats my dream bass!
... and will soon be at your home.
Nice bass, love the top laminate.
Gone are the days when I had huge gear...Roland Bass Cube with extension cab..much easier on my back!!!
Talking of weight..is your MK heavy..mine weighs a ton..I think it is solid all theway thru'
(See MArk King 93)
Hi Terry,
yes, the MK is heavy. My kitchen scale shows 5,8kg which is a bit over 13lbs. I guess. But since I am an XXL guy too it wasn't too heavy for me :-) Because the MK signature have no hollowed chambers like the series models I guess they are heavier than the series models.
I said 'was' because the MK has found a new caring home at brother onesimus since last week. Since I started playing short scale beginning this year I fell in love when I saw his SC deluxe. He was desperately looking for a MK and we decided to swap. I will get the SC out of customs tommorrow and hopefully discover that my decision was a good one.
thebass..mine weighs just under 14lbs so I am not alone in thinking these are heavy basses.
The one I own is medium, I played a short scale a few years ago, they are much easier to play and you certainly don't hear the difference to medium or regular scale.
