nice post @ossyrocks and your lounge looks great, miss RB has always been supportive of of my music, I’ve got basses all around the house and she never complains (well sometimes 😁) , I’ll sort out my bass room properly one of these days, i like to have a bass within easy reach wherever I am

East London Hackney and sometimes Essex

Might as well pick me up too if we’re talking cakes and biscuits 😁

This is a classic

I’m sure I had this album back in the day, I was really into Tappa back then, you’re right the bassline was originally from the temptations, I’m not 100% sure but it might be Robbie Shakespeare but I’d have to look into that, first out in 1973 I think , great album

As mentioned above I’d ask will at Bassbros, he’ll give you a good estimate and possibly even sell it for you

That’s a beauty skin 👌

Look forward to seeing it stew

If it’s all original with the OHSC I’d say it’s a good price, I haven’t seen a 72 under £3500 for quite a while, and yeah I wouldn’t risk it without checking it out first too

Yeah it’s not the best advert is it, and having to ask for all the necessary pictures can be a pain

If it all checks out and with the original case 3k is a very good price , my guess is this will disappear soon where someone will make them an offer

I found this, sly and Robbie produced one of their albums

The B side

I’m not sure t-h , I don’t know much about the band, apparently they were called T4, it says Jamaican vocal group who started in the early 70's as "Home T-4". In the late 80's they shortened their name to Home T. Members:Leroy Palmer, Michael Spence, Mikey Bennett, Orville "Bagga" Case, Rudolph "Ruddy" Manning, Sheldon Bernard, Tony Anderson (3), Winston "Diego" Tucker

Listening to a big compilation today I heard this, I remembered the track but couldn’t remember who it was by, from around 1980

It’s a great track myke, strangely I didn’t listen to much of his stuff back in the day, it’s only the last few years that I’ve been going through his songs, 1,000 Volts of Holt is a really good album, what really turned me on to him was when I started to transcribe In the Morning, I still can’t find out who played the Bassline , I’ve got a few possibilities but nothing definite but it’s superb , I haven’t nailed it 100% but I’m not far away

For me it was Natural Mystic-Bob Marley, it wasn’t technically difficult but the first time I heard that smooth deep bass start to fade in I just had to play it, I went on to learn the whole Exodus album, that was many years ago and I still play those tracks now , timeless songs

Loving that, I’ve never heard it before, great Bassline

Just had a look and I think you’re right, Phil King

Apparently Felt were an English jangle pop band, formed in 1979, don’t know what jangle is though

I’ve seen Shed and Buried, not sure if that counts 🤔

Here’s the video, you might be able to see if it’s a clear pickguard, I think it might be coloured to match the body but not sure

Ah yeah, I see what you’re saying, didn’t think of that
