Well for something completely different I’ve downloaded the tab and backing track to this and I’m going to give it a go over time, although at 1.20 I don’t think its going to happen quite like Miki 😁, should be fun

Nice one, I didn’t know it was on there, thanks SH 👍

Used to love my cassettes, I can remember learning basslines and using the rewind button over and over

Seems okay here 🙂

Just testing

Nice Bassline on fools gold, sounds great 👍

That’s well up there among my favourite tunes, great Bassline

Was listening to some Freddie McKay today, nice dub at 3.42

A new one from Kubix, valess playing a nice Bassline, bit of a jazzy vibe going on I think in parts

Has anyone found a decent clear sounding wireless headphone for transcribing basslines

Heard this today on a reggae station I listen to

That’s great 😁

Haven’t heard that in a long time, always remember the intro, so good , didn’t Rodigan used to use it as a jingle

Try this t-h, various riddims and I think you can click on the samples , I’ve heard the Glen Washington one before https://www.reggaefever.ch/articleDetails?articleId=CD-1290

Very similar Bassline to Freddie mcgregor tune

Welcome Rigetto 👍

Exactly, I didn’t know what they were about until I tried one, and then I totally got it

I’ve done untold experiments with various foam mutes, (hence why there’s no washing up sponges left in the house 😁) we had another thread on it, but I haven’t done one under the bridge cover, can’t you leave the foam longer so you can pull it out easy , or if that mutes too much cut the bit sticking out up at an angle so it’s not touching the strings, kinda like this

Really like this one from the Wailing souls , there’s another version with Alborosie but I think this is better

The link wouldn’t work, it does look nice

I like the earlier snoop and Dre but some of the newer tracks I find not so good

Nice looking 66 precision came up on reverb in the uk, they saying it’s all original, I keep telling myself not to look 😁

I’ve got D’addario tapes on 2 jazzes, probably around 7 years old now but still sound great and they’re really smooth now, I did buy the Fender black nylon tapewounds but they didn’t feel right, they were a bit tacky

I made one for my old shell pink jazz that I put together as a project, I think they work quite well, I play with a fairly light touch so it wasn’t a huge difference but if for some reason you wanted to reduce digging in it would work
