This book due for release at the London Bass Guitar Show 2015 is a new, revamped edition of Level 42 – A Physical Presence Bass Transcriptions. This is a complete set of bass guitar transcriptions for the classic Level 42 live album from 1985, an important album for many bass players. Originally published in 2003, this book has been out of print for many years, but has been frequently requested by the customers.

A Physical Presence was recorded and released in 1985 and was Level 42’s first live record. Capturing the original lineup in their prime, the album showcases the unique blend of superior musicianship and songwriting talents that had proven so popular with their fans. For admirers of Mark King’s inimitable style of bass playing, the album is a treasure trove: classic instrumental pieces such as ‘Mr. Pink’ and ‘Foundation & Empire’ sit alongside pop hits such as ‘Hot Water’ and ‘The Chinese Way’, all driven by King’s energetic basslines. The book also includes detailed performance notes for each song.

The book contains the following songs:

Almost There
Turn It On
Mr. Pink
Eyes Waterfalling
Kansas City Milkman
Follow Me
Foundation & Empire
The Chant Has Begun
The Chinese Way
The Sun Goes Down
Hot Water
Bass Solo
Love Games
88

Priced at £22, the book will go on sale Saturday 7th March 2015 through the website and via the stand (D6) at the London Bass Guitar Show.

The London Bass Guitar Show is thrilled to announce Mark King as the first artist confirmed for the 2015 line up.

Mark King is arguably the world’s best known funk bassist. Hailing from the Isle Of Wight and making an international name for himself throughout the 1980s and 90s with the huge-selling band Level 42, Mark quickly established a huge fanbase among bass players thanks to his dazzling slap technique. None other than Robert Trujillo of Metallica described Mark as a ‘god’ in Bass Guitar Magazine recently.

We’re delighted to announce that Mark will be participating in a very special Q&A at the London Bass Guitar Show, where the audience will be able to see him demonstrate the nuts and bolts of the technique which made him a star among bassists.
