Guys...I really didn't expect this video to bring out so many cool stories and nice words. I filmed this one for a little tongue-in-cheek fun and to celebrate an album I'm really fond of. I haven't been in the band for almost 7 years (a lifetime ago in the music world!) - THANK YOU ALL for coming by and still being members of the channel.

Nothing beats the Warwick. I know Mark recorded with a Spector for that album, but that I prefer the rendition in this video with the warwick sound. So distinctive. Ryan Martini, Mark, Paul Gray, Sam Rivers and many other Warwick players inspired me to really take playing bass seriously. Also increased my appreciation for instruments in general, specifically those German pieces of art!

A lot of people dipped out during your guys’ set, but me and a few of my guitar nerd buddies were right up front and it was just awe inspiring. I usually don’t pay too much attention to bass, but it’s truly integral to this song. I was 16 when I went to that show, now I’m 26. Feels like it was yesterday. Time flies man.

I'm gonna be real, I didn't know this channel was run by Mark until this video. Which explains a lot about why I've been digging the content and don't mind being recommended it. I have a friend who turned me on to Scale the Summit back in the day and I remember when The Migration and V came out being awe struck by the jump in quality in the rhythm section. I appreciated the quality Mark brought to an otherwise guitar-forward band, especially as a drummer. Was always disappointed in the rhythm section quality after Mark departed, and it made me really appreciate the bass as an instrument when I was a wee prog nerd who loved stupid fast drum fills and guitar lines. Glad to see someone I've always had a reverence for making quality content in the fast-paced internet music world.

Been going down memory lane listening to this album again and just really reminded me just how much this album has affected me as a bass player. Youre one of the main reasons I gravitated towards using a 6 string and actually finding ways to utilize it.

Wow thank you for this. You’re in my top three of favorite bassists, and this performance is one of my favorites, especially the EMG video. The bass solo is my favorite solo of all time, and this is my favorite track from STS. It’s incredibly organic and beautiful sounding. Happy to hear the behind the scenes stuff and even happier to know you wrote the bass for the album. I was always curious if Chris wrote it or not.

One of my absolute favorite bass lines ever. It just dances to its own melody. Just brilliant

absolute gem that album…STS never surpassed it AFAIK

Ha, I had videos of myself covering this and The Traveller like a decade ago but I took them down along with a bunch of other covers 'cause I didn't like the production. Anyway, the lines on The Migration were incredible, I remember I was sad when Jordan left STS but you also did a great job there.

I had the good fortune to see you guys play live with Monuments and Erra. So much awesome. I still have that giant Migration poster somewhere...

Loved the video and you did a great job. After listening to that song, it's time that I go check out the rest of the Scale the Summit discography. Another player I think you should check out is Jon Stockman from Karnivool, especially since you've had your 6 string out recently.

Hey Mark, just wanted to say I love this album a a lot and your bass work on it is superb.

This album has been part of so many road trips and traveling for me and it brings back a lot of good memories and nostalgia.

Truly a legendary performance and truly a legendary bassist. This was peak STS, can’t tell you how many times I watched this video back in the day and well here I am in 2024. 😂 Just watched the audio tree the other night and was wondering how old you were, you looked quite young

This EMGTV video is one of my most watched videos on KZread. I'm mostly a guitarist but can flit about a bit with varying degrees of success and this video cemented bass as a lead instrument for me personally. Before this it seemed a very fringe concept and to hear that it was recorded without drums just blows my mind and makes me respect the work put in even more. Still listen to STS and recommend them to anyone who hasn't heard them from my little corner of a small town in the north of England.

It’s always nice as a bass player when the composer’s ideas inspires you and leaves you enough space to be creative. I am currently learning Atlas Novus, for me the hardest thing is this song is getting the barred chords consistently without buzzing. And I’m glad I caught this inverted chord that happens only once in the song before you talked about it in this video !

@LowEndUniversity

Жыл бұрын

It really is - as guitar-forward as Scale the Summit usually was, I saw this song as a chance to really explore the full-range possibilities, musically, of my 6-string bass. I remember all the parts coming off as "too much" at times, but we all got used to it and I'm happy we kept it. I had a lot of different ideas for this song I was playing around with. The trick with the barred chords is to let your "barring" finger go a little past the bottom string. If you're fretting a 4-string chord on the A, D, G, and C strings - the barring finger should lay over all 4 and almost touch the E string. Also, "bar" the strings a little on the left side of your finger - I find you have to tilt it a little bit so it snuggles naturally and can hold them all down.

"Atlas Novus" was the first one I did on the day this video was shot - I settled in a bit once we got to the other 2 tracks. But I walked in, they had everything literally ready to hit "record", and I basically got my bass out, tuned in silence, and nodded, and they said "go". It was just fast and the cameras were moving and it got real for a minute there.
