Any pictures of Marvin Isley with his Series II? I remember seeing him holding a bass as big as he was on one album back in the 1970's | ||

Oh, my goodness... Marvin Isley is what you get as a bassist after being involved with the legendary Jimi Hendrix,and Hendrix's influences on younger brother Ernie Isley. What you get, is the prelude, and interest from a Bass player, to an Alembic bass player... pushing the infancy, and outer-most reaching of a true legitimate FUNK band. Marvin's bass playing exhilarating, and refreshingly tactful as: "climbin up the ladder". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLN5FXKSdNk ...and my all-time most favorite Isley song: "Voyage To Atlantis" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDo3Ds1yDY4 No woman would refuse me in "slow-dancing on this song... (because that song was a big help...)  " RIP Brother Marvin. Peace, and Love Hal- | ||

A picture speaks a thousand words...  Marvin Isley, with an Alembic bass... while recording: "GO FOR YOUR GUNS" LP (1970's). Thank you Marvin, and thank you Alembic Inc. with all my heart, for it was the parts, that made it whole. Peace and love, Hal- (Message edited by toma_hawk01 on June 13, 2010) | ||
