Welcome John 👍, nice find, I’ve never tried that myself, how does the A string sound with an E in its place

Horace Andy this morning

Welcome Aharper 👍

Oh yeah, that’s very cool

Yeah and I really like the Bassline, Check out Tiken if you haven’t already mr B , he’s got some great tunes

Yeah liking that 👍, I’ve put this up before but it deserves another spin

Been playing some Don Carlos today, easy Bassline and you can have some fun with it

Hi break-even and welcome 👍, I do use mine as I was taught 1fpf but don’t always stick to it, a friend of mine is a really great player and rarely uses his little finger, and he plays 4 string basses, so it’s definitely a yes, would playing a 5 be better as there’s less shifting because you can play across the board as opposed to up and down

This one sprang to mind today, big tune in its day

I could be wrong but that doesn’t sound right to me 🙂

So getting back into Linval Thompson lately .

Same for me with my jazz elite, it’s by far one of the best jazzes I’ve had and I’ve had lots, I’m actually looking at another one in a different colour

@Horizontalste not sure if you’ve tried this one, it’s a great song with a nice Bassline to play, and transcribed by ChrisDev https://basslessons.be/transcriptions.php?i=417

So good ☝️

Same here 😁

You must remember this classic , the bass just drops

Slightly slower tempo but along the same lines,

Nice story, what a gentleman 👍

My all time favourite band, saw them many times back in the day, this is a good one from ini and a nice Bassline to play

They haven’t in the last 3 years so I can’t see it happening any time soon

About 4 houses down from me there’s a group of guys who use their summerhouse for band practice every 2 weeks on a Sunday afternoon, they play heavy rock and are really dreadful, all out of time , the drummer is too loud and you can’t hear the bass, I often want to knock , not to ask them to be quiet but to tell them to get more practice in and sort their sound out , or even better, play some reggae 😁
