    Hola Oceansize 👍

    @Nail Soup if you want to browse some different styles of reggae have a look (if you haven’t already) at irie ites site , they are a french studio/ record label , they’ve recorded so many artists , and there’s a lot of synth Basslines used on lots of their tracks, let me know what you think 👍

    Busier than a Thai hostel 😁

    I can only speak for the force 4 and I’ve played the force 5 , but imo they are really underrated, and I’ve seen the 4 sell for £200 , which is a lot of bass for the money

    Yeah, I had Picato flats on my Sandberg and they were great, nice sound and tension , I know picato didn’t stock them in long scale for a long time, I haven’t looked so I don’t know if they do now

    I also gave the fender flats a good go , they sounded fine but I couldn’t get on the tension which was a bit high for me, they were on my 70s RI jazz which I sold to a friend about 6 weeks ago, he actually called me a week later and said how much he liked the strings 🙂
  10. Reggaebass
    They are a good string, although they are not on the brighter side, maybe put them on the one you want more thump out of 🙂

    I’ve never had a headless bass , but Cato’s status has definitely got me looking 🙂

    Been listening to a fair bit of Trinity lately, this one is Fairly recent, it’s a cracker
  13. Reggaebass
    Great bass, I’ve never had any strings with yellow silk, might be DR legend flats , not sure how long they’ve been around though 🙂
  14. Reggaebass
    Very clever, but if she sang me to sleep I’d have nightmares 😁
  15. Reggaebass
    That’s really nice Cato, do you want to sell....the stickers 😁
  16. Reggaebass
    It’s a great thread, I only use flats and have done for years , it’s interesting to find out about their history 🙂

    If music shops in the U.K. sold fenders , why wouldn’t they have a catalogue
  18. Reggaebass
    Yeah that’s true Hz, hofner go back a long way don’t they
  19. Reggaebass
    It looks like fender also did flatwound strings then, and tapewound, here’s a 1969 catalogue , so I’m guessing that if you bought a new jazz or P, it would come with their own strings
  20. Reggaebass
    It doesn’t seem real when you look at it now, but that was a lot of money then 🙂
  21. Reggaebass
    Don’t want to derail your thread but a few pages on look how much a new jazz or P was , 🙂
  22. Reggaebass
    I’ve just looked in a Bells catalog that i have from 1977 when I first went into a music store, it looks like picato did them
  23. Reggaebass
    A bit before my time but fairly sure labella flats were around then , didn’t James jamerson use them at Motown records
  24. Reggaebass
    I’ve still got my Washburn force 4, it’s a great bass, extremely low action and a fairly flat fingerboard, and it rarely goes out of tune, I really should play it more, it’s got some punch especially on the bass control , I might have to have a play tomorrow now you’ve reminded me about it 🙂
  25. Reggaebass
    I’ve been following Linval Thompson since the early 80s , and he’s still got it, he’s about 66 now, there’s some nice bass playing here at sunsplash 2019, looks like the bass player is playing a Marcus Miller jazz through an Ampeg rig (not sure who he is). , can’t stop natty dread again at 21.08 sounds great
