Reggaebass

Cruising through Brentwood listening to Gregory

I’ve never met a reggae fretless bass player, I suppose I could be the first 😁

I didn’t know that, I’ve never played a fretless and I don’t like the mwah sound, I might have to try one

You won’t go wrong with a US jazz, and you will find a nice one for your budget 👍

Quite scary really because I remember when it came out, doesn’t seem that long ago

6.15, nice sugar minott mix

Great tune from Junior Delgado from around 1979

I only use flats and I had a set that had what I think was some residue machine oil on them, I wiped them with the small alcohol wipes and they came up fine, I think because the alcohol evaporated

That’s exactly what I do, it can take me weeks to learn a new song note for note sometimes

Sounds great, I look forward to seeing them 👍

Was this down to a change in your musical direction frank, or did you just fancy starting again from new 🙂

Everything 😲😲😁

The jazz 💯

That’s got the makings of a good reggae bassline

Cheers ez 👍

Does anyone know how much it costs to have it done, also can it be done to a vintage jazz to get the action lower

I didn’t before I bought a Sandberg 👍

AFAIK, Sandberg only send their basses out with their own strings, mine came from the factory with 40-100 rounds and I only use flats, I changed them and it set up superbly with an incredible low action, no problem, but I did read, Plek technology scans your guitar's neck whilst strung up and tuned to pitch, allowing it to record the exact state of your fingerboard. @Tío, it might be worth asking holger if you can send him your strings to fit, I was going to but my bass was made and shipped before I had a chance to ask 🙂

Bit of Linval Thompson this morning

Nope nothing, I did have an itch for an acoustic guitar a few years ago because I like the sound of them, and I got quite a few chords down, and a bit of finger playing but It was just something to mess around with while sitting on the sofa, I don’t think it’s for me 🙂

Make a case table, that’s solved the storage problem with one bass 😁

That’s looking superb, nice job 👍

Cool 👋
