Raslee

It's got to be worth it just to play the 'Full up Riddim' as used on the pass the dutchie on the P. I play that riddim! Irie

Here's my USA 75 baby, luuurrrvvee it, neck like a dream! Although am thinking of getting some Villex PU's for it!

I play mainly reggae/dub bass, well with a name like Rasta i'm sure it's no surprise Anyhow, for a bass i can recommend the small headless Hohners (B2A?) or Steinbergers - light as a feather and something very irie about their phat sounds! I used to have one and am considering getting one again but probably a 4 string as i found the 'B' a little flappy on the 5. Experimenting with an envelope filter can also generate some low dubby tones if the filter is not fully opened, i personally don't use effects but i have tried it out in the studio and was quite impressed. As for big speakers, well i got a 6x10...i generally prefer this over 15" & 18" as it shifts more air efficiently and if you hunt around you can pick up the odd 6x10 or 8x10 pretty cheap. Most reggae bassists favour the fridge, Ampeg 8x10...but i have to say the Warwick i use is pretty close to that sound and at 900W is rarely ticking over. Having said all this i use a Jazz bass or P bass and lately have just started using a 15" cab for another band where i play reggae, ska and funk and i am loving the sound of the 15" again...but the good thing about the rig in my aviator (Eden WT800 & Warwick 6x10 900W) is that it just ticks over at a phat sound and the engine is never screaming....so smooth n phat and you can feel it in your belly! General rule of thumb from what i have seen, if you want dub...you want big (simple fizix) - and back ache for life PS diggin the Dub Trio, never heard of em' before but reminding me a bit like Ozrics ish

Eden's great stuff , i have a 7-8yr old WT800A still going strong! Good luck with the bidding.

Lakland Skyline JO's or the DH's are more than worthy a look. I have a Jazz and a JO.....the JO is amazing!

For me it has to be: 1st 3 (in no particular order) 1.Bootsy Collins (For being purely funky, not the most technical by far...but just pure gratuitous fonk) 2. Aston Familyman Barret (For being the most rounded beautiful PERFECT melodic and phat deep bassist ever) 3. Jaco Pastorius (Nuff said!) Gonna be cheeky and have another 3...i know its rude but blah blah 1. Robbie Shakespeare (For being the second best most rounded beautiful PERFECT melodic and phat deep bassist ever after Familyman) 2.Louis Johnson (For having the maddest fingers and beating up basses by slappin' em' to bits) 3.Larry Graham (For being a beautiful nice peace lovin hippy who'd probably choose 6 top bassists when only asked to choose 3) Clarke, Miller, Wooten....ah i'll get my coat now!!! Peace out
