redstriper

It reminds me of my old bass which I remember Beedster once described as fugly - fair comment but it suits me 

I still like it.

Thanks for everyone's input.
I decided to resist the temptation and carry on with my old Jazz bass for now.
A black JMJ is top of the list if I am drawn back...

Quick! Fill your boots @redstriper.

 

Thanks for the heads up ez...

I thought my bass buying days were over and I haven't been near Basschat for years...
But just when you think you're out, they pull you back in

I suddenly want a Mustang and I've narrowed it down to 3 main contenders - Squier Classic Vibe, Fender Vintera or Fender JMJ signature.

Does anyone have experience of any or all of these basses?
Is the difference in quality justified by the relative prices? 

My gigging days are probably over, it's mainly for recording reggae and dub music.

I know nearly all of them, it’s just placing the Bassline with the song, I’m working on it 😁 , 5.35 is bugging me, I was playing it the other day 

Keep up the good work

Does anyone know the names of any of these riddims?

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

Brilliant reggae bass tone as always from him.

New one from Head Gardener:

Nice tune, is head gardener  your band redstriper 

Thanks - Head Gardener is a new project with everything recorded remotely - some of the contributors have never actually met each other.

Not sure that Stick Figure qualifies as folk-reggae, but that's who I thought of while listening to Edward II. He's a solo multi-instrumental songwriter from San Diego. He'll put a band together for a tour. He's played Flagstaff at least twice that I know of. His early work is more straight up reggae style, but here is where he's at now.

Just updating the playlist - can't find this track on Spotify. Added Does Dim Gwell by Tacsi instead. Do you have a title for this track @redstriper? Cheers.

Thanks for that - This track was a live jam on the Unmetered Taxi riddim by Sly & Robbie and it's not on Spotify.
The original:

Great album with some lovely bass lines - Floyd Lawson on this track and Vivian Weathers on this masterpiece:

Another classic version:

This is great if you are interested in reggae history:

Here's another of my home recordings using a classic riddim:

Is it an Ernest Ranglin track (can't remember the title)?

Well spotted ☺️
 

Hello, here's a song I made in lockdown with some friends - you might recognise the riddim 😉

On reflection, it looks like Humph's bass ..........

Hi Owen, long time no see
I remember Humph playing a dark green Fender, but I thought it was a Precision.
Then again knowing Humph he may have had a matching Jazz.

The photo showing the neck heel also shows a pot and wiring, that ain't a CTS pot and the grey screened lead shown soldered to the pot ain't Fender either, so I doubt the pick ups are.

POS IMHO.

Okay, that's it - I'm going to leave it, there are too many question marks.........
Thanks everyone, it's been a lesson in the dangers of buying used Fenders without provenance.
