Reggaebass

I’ve seen a few places mentioned, exactly what venue is the London one

Heard this recently, love the Bassline

Proper relay 😁

Nice one Dale, glad you got it

A couple of nice easy listening ones tonight , has to be Gregory Isaacs with a my love dub mix and an early one from Patrick Alley around 1977, I really like the vocals on this, reminds me of another song but I can’t place it yet

I’ve got one fitted to one of my jazzes which was an experiment really, I don’t play hard or dig in as they say but I quite like it, once you’ve found the right height which is close to the strings I can’t really think why you would want it adjustable

I’m not familiar with those strings as I only use flats, but shouldn’t a new bass work with any strings, I certainly wouldn’t be talking it apart testing stuff, I’d ask for a return and new one, good luck

Looking considerably better

It’s just me and I’m sure it’s ok, but I wouldn’t put meths or lighter fuel anywhere near my basses, really scares me

I use the Gibson pump polish occasionally on my vintage basses, it does leave a slightly shiny finish which buffs up well with the microfibre cloth, and not sticky, maybe worth a try

When you have a bit more info you could always ask here or in the vintage fenders thread , there’s a lot of knowledgeable people there who would be happy to assist if you needed, good luck

Very nice, really great work, loving that neck with the blocks

There’s a box on the right hand side of the pictures to tick and a bin comes up

Out of curiosity what are the pickups and neckplate dates

Before I had the markbass 15s I had 2 Trace Elliot 15s , they did the reggae /dub very good ,super deep, I should have kept those

The sound systems and dub camps still use 18s, the Big Ben sounds like a good idea to me and I don’t think they are overly expensive now , I used markbass 15s for a long time and they really do the deep low end well, I use a barefaced big baby now which sounds great too, I’ve always fancied the Barefaced Dubster , that would be perfect if you could get one, not sure if this helps mr B

Welcome Bilbo

Very nice and a great bass , looks more like Lake Placid Blue to me, but I’ve seen many different shades

A couple tonight from Frankie Jones, I’m liking this version with U Brown , you don’t hear many of his tunes these days and this great riddim

Very true Maude, but when I played the Sean Hurley signature precision I swear I sounded exactly like him 😁
