Reggaebass

As mentioned, I would try just lowering the pickups slightly on the E side first, I had this once on a jazz, it was like a harmonic sound, it worked fine after

It’s not really my thing either , but slightly off topic, I did read that when Bob Marley heard that song he liked it and wrote Punky Reggae Party, so something good came out of it 🙂

Very nice 👍, congrats

They look like D’addario chromes if they look like this at the ball end, sounds like TI flats might be what you are looking for, they are quite bright as flats go , they were too bright for what I play

I don’t know much about rounds but they look pretty cool to me

Cool setup, and I like the vintage red cloth , this always looks better than the black to me

Bit of Trojan today

I use his lessons sometimes, he’s very good on theory if you’re interested in that, I’m working through this one at the moment for something different to what I normally play

Definitely, they’ve been my string choice for a few years now

Labella low tension flats

Have you tried alcohol wipes, I don’t think they will damage the case

I wondered how long it would be before UB40 got mentioned 🙄, some of their covers were better than the originals imo

A friend of mine always used to put Highway to Hell by AC DC on the jukebox, I would have thought that would be a good one to play

Welcome Rob 👍

Cool, good luck and have fun ☝️

Cruising through Woodford green listening to this

I checked my Ampeg manual and I’ll continue to use mine , here’s what it says, STANDBYSWITCH:Pressthetopof the switch to turn the Standby mode on. The Standby mode allows the tubes to warm, or remain warm, without high voltage being applied to them, which helps to extend tube life. This switch should be OFF when first turning the amplifier on. Allow the unit to warm up for at least 60 seconds before switching the Standby to the ON position. During short periods of non-use, the amp should be put into Standby mode.

Welcome 👍

If I’m changing basses or occasionally plugging in pedals I use the standby switch while doing this, does anyone else do this, or do you just plug things in and out without using standby

I did a little bit of digging and on a reggae forum I visit it says the US version of the cd , Toots & The Maytals ‎– Funky Kingston / In The Dark, which I think was released in 2003 is decent quality ,possibly about the best you might get, it was mastered by Gavin Lurssen, I haven’t heard it but it might be worth looking into myke , I had a quick look on discogs and it’s there

I’ve never had that but I have seen it, apparently some foam degrades into a sticky tar like substance and some just go rock solid, looks like it cleaned up ok, was it quite a task Brian or did it come off easily

Can’t resist blasting this now and again
