He's genuinely superb and never gets talked about in the leagues of the best bass players, I guess because Level 42 were never that cool etc... he's also a seriously good guy who really loves his fans and loves what he does, seen them live a few times and it's really watching masters at work.

This is still one of the best descriptions of Mark explaining in a short space of time that he always states his style is based like drumming on the bass guitar... When any friends or someone I've not long met , as me why I say this with regards to Marks playing , I either show them this or send the link to their phone & it always seems to be near the end when he's alternating between both hands thar sound like a drum beat , that usually the point they get what I meant... For those who've made statements of thst he's a god on bass guitar & obviously fans of Marks I always find it odd that 99% of them don't even know that Mark King is a naturally left handed , yet he plays his right handed bass in style he does , & I've always put this down to the fact that drummers have to try different patters & playing various way of playing but with both hand holding their drum sticks & no I'm not joking as its to early for an April Fools Day Joke , Mark is in fact left handed & try not to let your brains explode out your head when you read this... lol .....
