Are they original Suhr strings? I have a Pink Suhr with pink windings on the strings and wondered what brand they were!

Arranged a sale with Sida79 recently and it couldn't gone more smoothly. Excellent communications and money transfer went through flawlessly from Croatia to UK. Would definitely recommend dealing with him any time

Using my Stomp set up to just add a little zing from my Sadowsky preset & this thing is really inspiring to play - haven't been 'grabbed' by a new bass like this for ages! Here's a quick phone pic with the guard off:

Been playing mine today. I love the neck profile. It’s really slim and shallow, has an almost ‘flattened’ feel to it. Reminds of some Status basses. Nice and light and definitely giggable! It arrived perfectly set up with a very low action and there’s even room to go down a shade more if I really wanted. Can’t praise Andrew Morgan at A Strings Guitars enough for sorting this out for me: https://www.astrings.co.uk/service/about/

I have this album & the 12" as well. I always wish it was longer but it is 2:33 of loveliness! The 12" adds nothing to the album version - maybe a bit thumpier in the low end but not worth the money I paid for it though. Maybe I was feeling a little Dennis Brown at the time. . . I have the original import of this as well Prefer this one though: I think this might have been my first 12" reggae purchase. Not sure though, it may have been this:

I think it was originally in Hanway Street. Just north of Oxford Street near Tottenham Court road Station. That was my downfall really as my Uni was just 10 minutes walk away. Somewhat spookily I just read the article that showed those pictures and someone mentions going to Hanway Street & buying African Dub Chapter III in 1978 as it had just come out. They were playing it in the shop & I asked what it was. I recognised Dennis Brown's voice but not the dubby version that was being played The guy behind the counter said he'd only tell me if I agreed to buy one - was never sure how serious he was, lol. Anyway, I said OK and walked away with a copy 'fresh off the boat' I think it was my first purchase there Of course, what I didn't realise was everything they played on the shop's sound system sounded bloody marvellous - cost me a small fortune that place!

Still looking for some Diamond Socks to wear with some Earthman Shoes. . .

I spent much of my mid/late teens listening to roots and dub. Moved to London in ‘78 and spent a huge chunk of my student grant in Daddy Kool’s. Much of the best stuff on import was £4.50 for a rare 12”. To put this into perspective my first job paid about £50 a week before tax so just one single was equivalent to half a days wages 🙈 I still have them all though! Here’s a typical example:
