I really like that version of

'I and I Time'

Anyone know who played the original riddim ?

I know he did stiff with the radics but I think that was later..

All good thanks Mr reggaebassman I hope you're good..

I've not been on here for a fair ol while so I have plenty to catch up on 😃👍

Hi all I'm not sure if it's already been posted but I just heard Wobble's new single with Horace Andy for the first time, I like it its definitely a more Wobble version with his busier bass style..

Looks great Lee how does it handle reggae ?

I'm due some new strings, currently have 5 string steel roundwounds 40-128 and thinking of getting Nickel and heavier gauge (45-130), mostly as D and G sound a bit thin. Or possibly I'd go for roundwound but I occasionally play funk/slap so ideally want something that can still do that (but most of the time it's for Reggae). Any particular recommendations? 

I use Warwick red label Nickel rounds as they're cheap and good i.m.o.

But i use new fresh ones for funk and old worn in ones for reggae .

I'm reminded of 'Theme from a Summer Place' (I refrained from posting it)

😎

Listening to that it would make a good skatalites style tune 😃

Under appreciated on the reggae scene in my opinion.. always loved their ealier stuff 

Looks like a kay bass I have ..

Does it have those ridges on the saddles and is there anything on back of headstock ?

Hi tt, hope you’re well, that’s superb, I’ve subscribed to your channel 👍

Thanks man appreciate it..

From a reggae head and fellow bassy it means a lot 👍

My bands EP came out a week or so ago here's my favourite dub from it 😁✌

Not sure of the weight of this but my Cort gb74 is the lightest solid body bass I've ever had ..just over 7lb

My pleasure it's good to be back mate 🙂👍

Just in case there's no Wailing Souls on here 🙂

The Riddim before the above (48secs) sounds a bit like Yellowman 'I can't stand it' 

Although probably a recycled riddim

It's been 9 months since Alain M. posted anything on YouTube, until yesterday that is:

Brilliant reggae bass tone as always from him.

The line at 58 secs with filter is Flabba from my favourite dub album ..

Not sure if it comes from and earlier tune maybe Wailing Souls off top of my head 

Blimey I thought I'd try and catch up since I was last here.. I'm going to need a while 😁

Hi ya tt, great tune, I haven’t heard from you for a while, I hope you’re keeping well 👍

All good mate been practising alone and writing a bit in light of everything..

Had been half way through recording a reggae album with the Sg's which went on hold and will hopefully get back on track now..

Hope you're well 

I'd also highly recommend the Headhunters album minus Herbie for Paul Jackson at his absolute funkiest 

You can't beat Donald Birds Places and Spaces album with Chuck sounding superb

Been going through a Bad Brains faze lately..

I haven't been on here for ages and completely missed this thread ..

Good call 👍👍

Still a worthy sentiment from LKJ

Wow, there's always good and varied stuff for my 'watch list' on this thread.

How about this from the 1970s...

 

Her fella was half decent on trumpet  too 😁
