Yeah I think you could, I just missed out on buying a 78 precision a few years back, it had the letter A on the neck heel for the jazz neck , edit, this was it

I’ve got to stop looking at this thread or it’s gonna cost me money 😁

I think you’re right , a few different sites are saying different dates The group had several Studio One recorded hits in Jamaica, most notably "Love me Forever" in 1968. Carlton and The Shoes Genres Reggae Labels Studio One Members Carlton Manning Donald Manning Lynford Manning Alexander Henry The group is led by Carlton Manning, and the line-up was originally completed by his younger brothers Donald and Lynford (both members of The Abyssinians),

You could be right there, it was released I 1976

Sounds good Bean, I’ll look forward to seeing it, give us a shout when you’ve done it , I’ve seen your other videos 👍

I like the middle one, and that’s a nice rig tricky

I’ve got a few Jackie Mitoo tracks, I’ll have to dig them out

Yes please stew , hope your keeping well 👍

Came across a track I hadn’t heard today, or the band , it’s a similar rhythm to downpressor man by Peter Tosh , nice mix at 3.40

I’m guessing this is the song that ub40 covered

I used miss RB’s hair bands for years before Fretwraps came out , she wasn’t too pleased sometimes 😁

Do you mean a fret wrap , It cuts down the overtones of the open strings and stops them ringing out 🙂

Your not wrong frank 👍

Very kind of you Nicko, much appreciated 🙂

Cheers Nicko ☝️

Nice one ☝️ it doesn’t get much better than that, you might like this, mykal roses voice is just great

That’s interesting, I like those, are they shallow from front to back too

It’s still Eek-a-time

When I changed my precision neck for a jazz neck I personally couldn’t hear any difference, it was just more comfortable for me to play

A P bass body with a jazz neck is the perfect configuration for me, I’ve got 2 , the P bass special has a great jazz neck 🙂

That looks even higher rich, when I tried it fretting was fine but the right arm and shoulder was really uncomfortable

That’s really bad, I’ve been using Labella flats for years, but I don’t change mine ,I tend to leave them on, over the last 2 years I’ve fitted 5 of my jazzes with LTFs , all the others have 760’s on, and they’ve all been fine, I have heard of a few issues but I’ve been fortunate up to now 🙂

Are those bowling shoes mick 🙂
