Reggaebass

They are both reggae artists with soul...

And jimmy cliff

Does it come in ebony 😀

Becominga bass player at 60 in 2018 means one will never make money at it and will, quite frankly, be laughed at. You are never too old to learn bass ,or any instrument for that matter, and not very friendly advise imo

Yeah a lumberjack

That would sit nicely on my decking 😀

That’s great Only asked because I was 14 and just bought my first bass and i remember playing public image and exodus, Bob Marley 👍

Is that a public image t shirt 😀

If you’re not comfortable doing it. Then don’t ,it could turn out to be more hassle than it’s worth

That’s quite a set up. I want one 😀

That’s quite an achievement lowdown , I can imagine it to be varied and interesting.

Professionally fitted hardware, with a chainsaw

I’ve got 11 basses and looking for a sandberg to add to the collection so no culling for me 😀

That’s great to know ped thank you 👍

I regularly play open strings sometimes dampened or muted depending on what sound I want I don’t see a problem with that

I’ve never tried one of them but I have to say it looks fabulous

Markbass little mark 250 black line With the vle and vpf you can dial in some great tones

I have one and IMO they’re great you can get some serious low end but the mids And highs are crystal clear the tweeter doesn’t really seem to do anything much. They are very light and really well made. I was using the ashdown mag 115 deep which I still have but the markbass is far superior in every way If you’re in east London or Essex area you’re welcome to have a go on mine

Could you not lower your pickup just one side ,just below the e string it may only need a few turns

If you are a reggae fan Alain M is the man

Your work is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing

You are definitely doing the right thing trying different approaches, 2 years ago I decided to really improve my muting techniques and switched to the’ moveable thumb’ technique and it really works for me, just find what works for you 😀

As Norris says And imo You can overthink these things just get some solid Basslines together play how you feel comfortable and then you can start refining your techniques in time ,the more you play you will find you start to do these things automatically

This is them close up

I bought a set of D'Addario half rounds 45-100 for my jb they feel very smooth and are a nice quality string , they are definitely a brighter tone than all my other flats and I don’t get the finger noise that I get from roundwound strings
