  1. i am glad July Kit,, takes all types to chat about bass basically ,, yet you could create your own forum & call it GrammarChat ,, but think many will cheat & use Grammarly
  2. very simple stuff,, its so slight people overlook it , & its so micro its not noticeable , ever ,but once you know it ,, it "can" stick out like a sore thumb , if i was getting an expensive bass hand made i would request or try to get those preferences in the final build ,,
  3. i get cooked not because of what I say, its my presentation ,, & yes , its years of drum programming ,,
  4. As long as the bass works its fine ,, but still, if i had a right bunch of cash to have my own bass(es) made from scratch,? i wood seriously multi test & check to make sure the wooden components were tailored to my preference, i know plenty of players will say it don't matter & you cannot hear any difference ,, videos have been made to prove there is no difference ,, but it depends on what you are listening for ? ,, plus i heard there is a bit of musical science that backs up the importance of tailoring wooden components / metal parts too for your "perfect ish" bass / guitar / piano ,, in fact any known instrument ,, even tho, it is a splitting of hairs subject for many eg ,, all wine is basically the same right ? until you meet a sommelier of the highest order , i might do a video on this topic so guys can make their own minds up on the finest details on the importance of instrument construction in terms of stock tone & components ,, thanks
  5. I know this upload is not reggae ,, yet this "LP" would have probably been on a few young blued eyed shelves ,,, since the post is showing many joints from around 1969 , what was on your shelf ? tighten up volume , maybe the odd blue beat , other reggae joints & probably this ,,, cheers
  6. look familiar ? Heinz aka Mr Benjamin Jet ,, probably going to an upper class dance , it was probably "after" he got tugged people want to hear fuss, or what it was all about , those low end beats ? Only played by Mr Tulip in his clubs from at least 1959 Johnny Ace it
  7. would probably have to be in documentary to describe my earliest recollections,, & how it turned into the Mod movement ,, Hippy movement & of cause Reggae ,,
  8. well it was the Tighten Up Volume mixes by Trojan that catapulted reggae as a genre into the masses ,, those who knew about reggae before 1970 ,, not bad, those who remember reggae before 1968 , great , those who remember reggae before 1964 ? are probably jazz men or calypso guys ,, slip of the tongue actually, as there wasn't really such a thing as "reggae music" in the early 1960s ;D
  9. an earlier version perhaps the original, tho it could be possibility based on an old american mid west country joint The Spanishtonians - Stop That Train
  10. just after ww2 1946 see louis jordan , the george benson of his day , big influence on what would later become standard reggae ,, seriously epic video , thanks
  11. Mr Tulip ? many forget it was initially american jazz from a calypso prospective ,, charlie parker , louis jordan , many others, Johnny Ace, a combination that eventually drove the sound into a heavier beat , a darker rolling, more serious at times approach to the basic bubble gum rock n roll pop turn around of the day ,
  12. when i was small a guy used to sell "jazz records" many many years later i discovered he was Coxsone Dodd
  13. think some peeps could be surprised on the benchmarks set by Dub Reggae bass players & their bass lines ,, easy on the ear, easy if you follow the top notes , yet plenty of those lines are swinging jazz turnovers , then, they twist the progression on the fret board ,, & you slowly realize you will not be able to play the line,
  14. Hmm ? i hear they say you should never meet your idols ,, after all any idol is made in ones own image ,, thus a mirror image of the alter ego of ones own reflection ,, if not a least a competitor of it yes ,, there will be some howling moments in any industry , music is no different , yet what makes rock n roll slightly different is , it only relies on 3 core values , each core value can spell the polar opposite of the other , sometimes any combination of all 3 ,, so yeah ,, if you thought your idol is great at say rock n roll ,, only to find out he is a meth head, or a bread head or into other stuff ,, eg core values you do not subscribe to ? ,, it can be a nightmare ,, even if everyone else 100% said it was great , its why i do not take bass too seriously guys ,, its just a hobby , cheers
  15. the jury is out ,, yes they can be / are a great source of information ,, often note how raw some isolated stuff will be ? ,, this could point towards the point often said about players like EWF bass player who when he / they play live ,, never get the chance to lay live stuff down exactly right or truly capture that live dangerous power , & the opposite ,, session guys good clean & tight in studio, bad / dull when they play live ,, yet they is no way of ever knowing if any given stock is tweaked, upheld tracks or more ,, importantly stock cannot tell us what the exact (micro) notes are or feel of how the stock is layered out ,, that's why its good to also keep learning about texture & many things, pro tips, stage craft , & bass lines finally tho ,, think isolated music means we probably might see plenty of cloned stuff out there guys ,,, your best isolated joint from you favorite ever band ,, possibly spammed to clown world ,, never mind, its still good to jam bass ,, cheers
  16. ok i never knew that ,, these guys were obviously not telling users exactly where they were getting the stock recordings from ,, like guys like us were like ? no way they were getting these from the studios man ,, i knew something was up ,, yet still guys ? ,, stock recordings are only a guide , if you follow teachers like scotts bass lessons & other pro players ,, they will sometimes show you the incredible micro notes you cannot hear on many bass lines / music ,, even on isolated stock ,, how to swing the notes into the beat & fret the right way ,, & the up beat notes ? producers might eg mix down ,,, up beat notes , & they could become un available on the mix purchased by Rock Hero Band & other 3rd parties ,, thanks man for the detail on rock hero tho man ,, breaking news ,, cave man bass player finally finds out why everyone has isolated bass lines to clone ,, cheers
  17. hmm ,, its hard to say sometimes if these are 100% genuine ,, insomuch as bass lines & other instruments are, or can be isolated to a point & airbrushed using pro tools & other musicians filling out the wave file * following the score & checking to make sure it matches perfect , perfect that is, to their own ears,, there are advantages / disadvantages good .. if you really need to listen to a bass line, it can help ,, great if you are a DJ etc too bad ,, means youtubers can repeatedly clone the bass line or other stock instruments & set up 100s of videos maybe more of any "classic" previously unplayable / tricky / monster awesome, historic isolated stock instrument ,, & rinse it into spam clown world yet, i would never call it to be banned ,, eg in this alleged isolated stock instrument track above , the producer of the day eg never bothered to get the stock score on the up beat ? this was also highlighted by me self regarding bernard edwards ,, good times isolated bass,, that isolated mix was not raw enough to know "exactly how he played it ,, eg the micro notes from the isolated mix uploaded to youtube was blurry ,,, the isolated market has definitely taken off on youtube & other platforms tho guys ,, thanks
  18. the thumb sometimes, in reference to theory only has two positions it either lines up to your middle finger ,, & you play major using one finger per fret , or the thumb lines up to your 1st finger & you play a minor scale ,, also one finger per fret ,, try any exercise given from baschat peeps on guitar 1st , if bass feels to big i now use thumb over .. like chris squire like louis johnson means i use 5 digits on the fret board not 4, tho strongly agree with scotts bass lessons its important to get the fret board right , before you employ party tricks , thanks
  19. sometimes its as long as you can play the bass line, yet, if you feel a tho your fretting hand is letting you down ,, try practicing on a guitar , one finger per fret on guitar etc should be easy , unless you want to do crazy fast solos like immediately now , just take it easy, keep practicing & eventually your fingers should fall into place ,, albeit, closer to your desired position
  20. lol ,, SHM i thought Flea was bigger than metal ,,
  21. teen town could even be based on otis redding sitting on the dock of the bay if you walk the notes that way ,, yes i agree , jaco picks up at RnB ,, yet he knew some of the disco guys ,, looks guys / i aint making no bones here ,, i know mike edmonds he knows i would never say a bad note on jaco ,, its just i have the most out landish nickname for jaco saturday night fever went viral almost the same way bruce lee went viral in enter the dragon ,, thanks
  22. you win the argument little john ,, good job i never had a strange nick name for level42 ;D ,, i keep forgetting people today can be easily offended even by their own shadow ,, it would be really nice tho if jaco was still in the building ,,, & with my self saying hey you ?? jaco ?? you managed to do them Disco octaves yet :D thanks
