Reggaebass

Listening to a bit of the cool ruler from 1995

Nice playing on voulez vous ☝️

I’m gonna watch it again drT, and have a closer look at their equipment, I didn’t notice the stingray 🙂

I noticed that jazz drT, if it was the same one that Andy Baxter had I would have thought it would be worth quite a bit more because of the history, do you think. I also noticed on the Bob Marley program that Aston Barrett was playing a P bass, I’ve only ever know him to play a jazz 🙂

I particularly liked the old footage of , stir it up and lively up yourself

That’s a great one Leonard ☝️

A bit of I jahman, nice Bassline on this 🙂

I started playing around 1978 and the music then was pretty heavy dub , what I would call roots/ rockers reggae, then around 82-83 the the music mellowed a bit to more dance hall style when clubs like ,The Four Aces in Dalston started playing more by people like, Barrington levy, Gregory Isaacs, Don Carlos, Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, And also quite a bit of lovers rock was being played more by people like, Jean Adebambo, Louisa Mark, Janet Kay, Carroll Thompson . Then around the mid 80s the more heavy dub was only being played in a few clubs I went to, and bands like, Aswad, Dennis Brown , ub40 were pretty popular. Synth Basslines wasn’t heard of in my youth, I know what you’re saying though Nail Soup, what is considered dancehall now isn’t what I knew it as , and I’ve noticed a few older reggae artists like Lutan Fyah, are using a lot more electronics in their music now , and I must admit I do flip past a lot of the new electronic reggae 🙂

I like this one by the dubbeez

I had quite a big problem with them once with one of my jazzes, and I wasn’t really getting anywhere with the store manager, so I contacted their customer service department, and a few days later the store manager called me and sorted it out straight away, I think it’s worth doing Dov, 🙂

After sales is important for me, if a company is quick to take my money they should be quick to rectify any problems, or they wouldn’t get my custom again.

Yeah, I saw that one foxy, it had quite a bit of damage to the finish otherwise I would have been tempted 🙂

I’m subscribed to Bionic Dub and this was put on yesterday, it sounds familiar but I’m not sure where from, it’s by sound dimension, who were the in-house band in studio one in the sixties

Great ones durhamboy, I don’t know much about the Dubbeez, I looked them up once when I saw this a few years ago and I really liked the bass playing by Olivia Davina

Welcome saul, there’s a few reggae threads here that might interest you, there’s some great tunes there ☝️

A nice song here from Bob Marley you don’t hear very often

I’ve had flats since the 80s , and I seem to remember labella using orange silks at one point, but I think they changed to red later, that looks like a cool bass , can I see some more pics 🙂

I bought these quite a long time ago on ped’s recommendation, and they are great, they are nice and light and the padding is very comfortable 🙂

For any Bob Marley fans there’s a program on BBC2 on Saturday night at 21.45 called , When Bob Marley came to Britain ☝️

Very nice bassfan, I’m looking for a 62RI at the moment but I got a bit of marcus gas when I saw that 😁. I like the colour, enjoy your bass 👍👍

Certainly different, I’ve never seen one before
