Hi Bean, when I said real bass I meant a real bass guitar, the track I posted sounds like a synth bass or a mixer of some sort 🙂

Some B sides are better than the A 

 

staying with the current thread " real bass" i don't know how to express this without taking small steps ,, initially, its not whether reggae bass is better than funk bass ,,, Bass is Bass

what happens after that could be considered astounding.  as DJ Fabio would say great time to drop a lemon ,,,

I prefer real bass but I got this by Raphael off the Trojan forum, nice beat 

 

real bass ? all through the thread i have emphasized how jazz was the basic bedrock, Louis Jordan, Parker , Sam Cooke , Johnny Ace, & others ,,, lol ,, we will leave jaco pastorious out of it

instead, the initial 1st chess move, i call upon one of the greatest scientists known to man, not a bass player , a prophetic message ,, the message to you Rudy

the greatest thing you can ever learn ?

Treble down, Bass up, that's the way we like to pluck!

 I'm getting quite into using a foam mute for the early Ska sound.  

obviously he is a pro bass player , its true that some folks have loud EQ & play the bass very soft ,,

i am the opposite , i often play the bass so heavy i don't really need an amp  

funk is different even tho there are many great soft players, we like the soul of the bass to sing scream & shout, squeak , cry, even laugh,

i know its a reggae blog , yet have upload this ,, btw i probably jam even worse than Johnson probably on par with Mark Adams , of whom some youtubers thought i was mark hansolar himself,, i really go for it when the bag is out ,, string breakin slap

interesting that it says, Large gatherings known as sound systems would take place at carnivals in Reading and Oxford,      Where would you say the first sound systems took place, because I remember them from east London when I was a kid 🙂

i remember a grown up i know telling every one (1964 / 67 ? ) "the Trinidadians were playing real live music ( Pan ) calypso out side of a pub & giving away free food"

the location was not east london  ,,

@greavesbass, if you fancy playing some mellow tunes, check out some of Gregory isaacs 🙂

 

box piano ? ,, goes to a time long before Cooke, long before , some call him "The Voice" the original & 1st voice undisputed aka Mr Marshal ,, note the rolling /strolling piano beat ? bigger than the king , & copied by so many ever since

Cooke was his sensational new wave replacement , & Gaye was the reluctant replacement of Cooke , ,, jazz man him a history man

remembering Paul trouble Anderson ,, only on Kiss FM ( thanks for the info )

Today may 11th marks the 40th anniversary of Bob Marley’s passing , one of my favourite tracks, mighty Bassline 

 

1977 was good , 40 years ago not great , i don't remember 1982 , apart from the world cup ,

The Lyceum Ballroom we knew really well & the odd Pubs he jammed in , in the early days, 

& the old mans voice ? ,

Kitch not Cooke , if you knows your history , you do well, if you takes some advice ,  take your meat out me Royce ,
