We have to have some Heptones every now and again, version is good on this one

Great one, big tune when that came out, and I think Nadine Sutherland had links with Bob Marley

Wouldn’t it be cloth wire on a 65

Nice one 👍

Did you manage to get the P body meterman

It just clicks on or off really, I just like a gadget 😁, you can’t beat a bit of tone foam

Thanks, it was just a bit of a project to mess around with but it came out quite a good player, the tonerider pickups in it is something I’d recommend, and pretty cheap too, it’s The Bassmute by the bridge, https://www.bassmute.eu/bm_mainframe.html

Yeah, in my experience they are interchangeable, this is a mex P body with an older jazz neck I liked the feel of, it fitted fine, can’t remember if the screw holes were exact but that’s something you could overcome

The Ampeg Venture V3 head is fairly small and a great looking amp, not sure if the V7 is the same size Width(in/mm) - 9.09/231 Depth (in/mm) - 10.52/267.1

What’s wrong with being a fan of a certain bass, just curious , I only play fender jazzes and precisions now after owning many other basses, they feel comfortable to me

I’ve been there and drive past it regularly, seems a shame it’s all boarded up now

Perhaps I should have said bass players I know 🙂

I don’t think I know anybody without one 🤔

That must have been one of the heaviest tunes around back in the day, I remember hearing it at sound systems around Leyton , dub version too , warrior charge was another

Been working on this, it’s a good one for me to practice keeping in the pocket , easy to trip up though

Has to be among one of my favourite Peter Tosh tracks, pick myself up, and this is such a great video

Recent one by Ted, his T40 sounds great

Welcome Kelly

I quite like a bit of ESG now and again, some interesting grooves on this album

I don’t normally like refinishes but this looks quite nice what Will has at Bassbros https://search.app/KJnP1Lj3vPjRdWUh7

Cruising through Whitechapel listening to this

Not quite the same

I narrowed down my vintage basses a few years back , I’m down to just one a 71 precision which I play mostly, I think the wear and tear goes with the territory as they are normally around 50 - 60 years old and that’s the price you pay to play something pretty special , I take mine anywhere because it’s there to be played , I will be buying more if something catches my attention
