Reggaebass

Thanks cuzzie 👍

Many Thanks cuzzie, I’ll take another look, I lost hours yesterday trying to figure it out , I was looking for the simplest way to record the bass over a backing track

Thanks woodinblack, yeah it’s on my iPad, I’ll take a look at JamUp and BIAS amp 👍

Quick question here for a novice 🤓, I installed GarageBand yesterday, and I have an irig2, and after a lot clicking around managed to import a backing track a friend sent me, and I’ve sort of found out how to record my bass, but I can’t play over the backing track and hear what I’m playing, it’s one or the other, on this video at 3.42 it says there’s a monitor option, but it isn’t on the app, any ideas, cheers

It’s not the greatest video quality, but I enjoyed this solo at 2.24 over a Burning spear cover

It’s this one Dave, it’s pretty battered but it still actually works 😁, although the jack is really crackly, I might change it in the summer for a bit of fun

Hi myke, i can’t help with the song but I found these exercises by Mark to be helpful for me to build up my speed when I struggled a bit with a few tracks, particularly the one about 5.20 🙂

It’s right what some are saying about the jedson basses being over priced now, but mine served me well, I bought it in around 1978 and it was quite old then, it was my first bass and all I could afford, I had lessons and went on to play in 2 reggae bands with it, from what I can remember it sounded pretty good through a HH amp and 2x15 cabs , I’ve still got it for nostalgia, it hangs on my summerhouse wall, I’ve got pics but I think most have seen it now 🙂

Very nice Doctor J, they have a sleek look about them and quite a powerful sound I believe 👍

Welcome Goo 👍

Many thanks ped👍

I’m not sure ped, should I have something

I’m permanently logged in on safari with an iPad Pro, but lately it keeps going off and I have to keep logging in, is it something my end 🙂

Two versions here some might be interested in of , Take it Easy, the first is I think the original by Dennis brown around 1973 on studio 1, and my favourite, a great heavy version with Gregory isaacs, mixed by Joe Gibbs

Welcome Plaaty 👍

Now there’s an idea 😁

The first flat I bought was completely painted magnolia , doors, frames , walls, ceilings, windows, and woodchip wallpaper , it took months to re decorate , I never want to see that colour again 😁

A quick look and there’s a size guide here 🙂

I think I bassline is one size but gruv gear do different sizes, this is a pic as a guide

Nice bass your looking at getting there Grav , if the bass is too far away to go and see , I would ask for some close up pics of the actual bass, most shops are quite good, that might give you a better idea of the colour 🙂

I don’t think this thread is helping either 😁

Ha, 4 different Olympic whites 😂

Olympic white and shell pink are my favourite bass colours, I think sometimes it also depends on the camera and light, this pic is Olympic white in good light

Great suggestions here, thank you, I’ll be getting my funk on 😁
