Composer/producer/bassist Michael League and guitarist Mark Lettieri of Grammy-winning jazz-fusion group met PG before their slamming, sold-out show at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works and took us through their hard-grooving gear.
Michael League has a cache of vintage and modern basses at home, but for touring, he gets it done with his stock 1959 Fender Precision. League strings the P with Dunlop Medium Flatwound strings.
Mark Lettieri’s main guitar is a Don Grosh NOS Retro model that features a swamp ash body, maple neck, Grosh ‘60s Fat single-coils and a Small Block 327 humbucker. The Grosh is strung with Dunlop nickel-wound strings (.0095-.044) and plucked with heavy Dunlop celluloid picks.

This is my band. These guys are so good. Mark is so damn amazing. Even though I don’t play bass, watching Michael League keep time with his neck and body is so damn cool. He just looks cool as hell doing it. Thanks John and Premier Guitar.

@fireemblemistrash75 5 лет назад

NA I mean the horn or non electric side doesn’t seem ever that interesting, the only interesting thing being probably their technique for blowing without getting exhausted, drummers and the way they grip their sticks, but nothing else at least imo The electronics side is more interesting and interactive because you see players who got big by making do with not as expensive equipment, others with odd and strange choices of gear

@AlanScottBand 6 лет назад

Years ago I played guitar at the Black Cat in DC for an artist named Keite Young. MIke League was on Bass and was the MD. We rehearsed the tunes without the artist and then played it live when Keite arrived. What a fun show!! Great player...commits to every note.

Love these guys. That comment from Mark about his No. 1 guitar being whatever he wants it to be, rather than vice versa, is a great one. So true. Mark really surprised me, never having heard an interview with him he comes across as a really knowledgeable, down-to-earth gent, as well as being a legit monster player.

Jack Narcotta great guitarist but pissed off I wasted money on his pedal. Doesn’t sound all that great with my rig. I guess that’s why it’s for him. But I hate when a seller says yes it’s a great pedal and after I buy it says oh I never tried it. Wtf? Do not waste my money. Lost my business too.

@bacicinvatteneaca 6 лет назад

How's the signature amp called? He said "casa" with a hard s, as if it was Spanish, so I don't know if it's supposed to be "casa" with a soft s or "cassa" with a double hard s.

@mtkwe 4 года назад

Considering the fact that Markbass is an Italian brand, I think it's "cassa". That's the italian word for "cabinet"

Why does Michael have a different distance from the strings to the edges of the fingerboard on the guitar? The 1st string is closer than the 4th string. I have the same bass and the same situation. Crooked screwed neck?

@uriteimwrong7317 6 лет назад

Csar 4144 do you like it? I’m not sure about it and I’m selling mine. I need more gain and I think a tone knobs better for me. FYI I’m using hbs. It doesn’t really make my amp sound better. Maybe need to fool with it a bit more.

@Csar-wj3od 6 лет назад

Hey Urite... I'm in a similar situation, and I'm trying to return It to JRockett... On my case, I thought the MELODY could be an enhancement to my DUDE pedal, to get a nice blues edge brake up tone for my strat. But I feel the MELODY Is too compressed for my taste. So I'll stick to my DUDE, and will try to return Ithe MELODY... so far no success...

@uriteimwrong7317 6 лет назад

Csar 4144 sold mine. Good luck buddy. 👍

@joerobinson6199 5 лет назад

Csar 4144 I got one too and was thinking ok there’s barely any distortion in this pedal. Constantly changing the EQ’s around but...I’ve learned to slow down. Not everything needs to be high gain. Try it with another amp and learn to play with less gain sometimes. I’m a bluesy/ rock type okayed too. So usually high gain is not used but I love it. Like Gary Moore type sound. FYI a great Supro pedal is the Drive. It’s great.

@abderrahimkoch9293 3 месяца назад

@Tony-lc7op 6 лет назад

After 3 minutes Michael is talking about he could only play 1/10 th of the notes because of the "action" on the other bass. I'm fairly new to bass playing and I have a lot to learn. Would someone be so kind to explain what exactly Michael means? I think the action is the distance between the snares and the frets that is adjusted by the bridge, was that distance large in this case and what effect would that have? (So why would someone like this setting as it is so hard to play with this action setting?) And is it even more difficult with flatwounds? Thanks!

@JosephGallagher 6 лет назад

That's correct, the action is how high the strings are from the fretboard and is adjusted both by the bridge saddles and the thrusrod (which controls how straight / bent a neck is).

@mrtyreus0 6 лет назад

as a beginning bass player I would definitely recommend sticking with a low action bass so that it's easy to play. What Michael was referring to was that since the action on the P bass was high and in a way uncomfortable to play he only play the notes that counted instead of superfluous notes that he might play on an easier to play instrument.
