Bottom End Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 From NoTreble.com I didn't really become aware of Mick Karn's work until this year, he really was a pioneer of fretless bass. "Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, yet you cannot play upon me.'-Hamlet Guitar solos last 30 seconds, the bass line lasts for the whole song.

Nicklab Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Very sad news. I had heard that Mick Karn was pretty sick a few months ago. He was truly a unique voice on the instrument.

fractalbass Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Mick was an inspiration to me, particularly his work with Dali's Car. He will remain a great unsung hero of the electric fretless bass. He was a true creative genius. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
