Not a bass video, but let's see what Copeland says about all this reggae stuff...

Bought a guitar amp from Dave and everything about the transaction was awesome! The item is wonderful, and despite the logistical complications, he went out of his way (literally) to figure it out, and kept the item safely for me way longer than he needed to! Dave is yet another reason the Basschat community is so great!

Just bought a great guitar from Paul, exactly as described. Excellent comms, quick turnaround and great packaging. Thanks Paul!

Indeed it does! I was a young whippersnapper when that came out.

From the instant I saw the Junior Reid I instantly had to go play this

well, yes I do sweet...

Nice....just what I needed right now

So I know this is the 'reggae thread' but it encompasses and touches all the flavours here anyways and it all gets love. I had seen this little mini documentary this guy put together on dancehall from his perspective as a newcomer to it. I was impressed and quite entertained by it. I'm not going to fact check it as I did not know a ton of those details anyways, I just grew up on the music around me at the turn of the century (or thereabouts). But I really like how he put it together and he touches on the history and Sound Systems etc. which was brought up in this thread the other day, and even ties in David Bowie into his discussion. Anyways, it popped back up in my youtube recommendations just now and I figured it might be entertaining for anyone who has not seen it.

Well...there there is only one place to go then...but unfortunately you have to wait until tomorrow as they do not open on Sundays (and it not free ). I have not gone to the Clapham branch in a while since they opened up the Shepherds Bush outlet (heck I was there about a week ago)...but oh so worth it! (prices have raised unfortunately though). Shepherds Bush branch is literally a hole in the wall, just enough space to fit yourself infront the counter and pay/collect your order but I'm going for the food just to pick up. If you need that chicken roti and an 'Apple J' or your 'red solo'....then look no further. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g186338-d2256998-r687449545-Roti_Joupa-London_England.html

Where where!? I could do with some pelau or doubles or something this nice Sunday evening...pass me a plate.

he would have been known by some already but after that track he just blew up big time. Fun/stupid story...I was out clubbing with some friends many moons ago, and Damien had a concert that weekend, so he dropped into the club with his peeps. So its late and we outside the club now jus' chillin' and Damien decides to leave and passes by us. My friend belts out 'Junior Gong!'. He proceeds to promptly drop his head, raise his fist and tell us the ubiquitous...'Blessssss...'.

@SumOne For real! I forgot all about that one, nice.....

Ok this might throw off the feel of the thread a bit, but I'm listening to this and I really dig it. But its giving me a sense of something else, and then I realise its this (at least in my head). Strip back the bassline a heck of alot more, concentrate on the main repetitive phrase slowed down, have the bass boom some more and fast forward a couple decades...at very least, it gave me a reason to listen to this one again OK...back to the old school stuff now....
