Very nice, congrats

On a Freddie McKay one today

I have read a fair bit about them before once and didn’t twig that was their shop, probably best to avoid them, thanks for pointing this out

Could have been mine, he only used 5 frets 😁

This must have been heavily played looking at the neck wear, nice bass https://reverb.com/uk/item/79902368-fender-precision-1966-blonde-slab-ex-the-who-john-entwhistle

Is that the white label one? Don’t think it’s on YT

Isn’t the original one by Freddie McGregor on the album Bobby Bobylon which was released in 1979

Assuming not only are they scamming but avoiding reverb fees

Welcome Stone

Really nice , looks in great condition, good find

King tubby day today

Zombie thread 🧟, I’ve played a couple, great Basslines and not the easiest I’d say

Very cool T-h, things like that don’t happen very often, good times

Was going through some of King Sounds tracks and I like this version of the heptones song Book of Rules, great voice and bass

That’s really good going Chris, well done, I’d struggle with that myself

I’ve had custom shop fenders and they are amazing instruments, don’t know where you get the badly bolted together bit, they have gone up in price considerably and I wouldn’t now pay 5k for one, I’d rather go vintage for that money

Really liking this, Aston Familyman Barrett on bass & Junior Marvin on guitar, Aston Barrett Jr on drums

A bit of Bob

Hi SumOne , there’s some info on here about the releases you might find interesting, lots of other links to look through too at the top, I like the one on the early labels https://www.downbeat-special.co.uk/truthsandrights.html

Thanks miles, yes it’s definitely positive if it reaches the younger audience, the cinema was fairly full and many young people there, I already knew the history of Bob from when I first bought Exodus around 77 but it was really good to see it in a film, I thought they did a great job of his life story, good to see a few shots of studio one too, I especially liked the part with the Wailing Wailers doing Simmer Down I’d say it’s definitely worth a watch if you haven’t already seen it

Well I’m off to see ,one love the Marley film, shall report back later

It was just to try it really, some of my flats are 20 or so years old and sound great, I wouldn’t say it’s taken them to that point but definitely takes the edge off
