Reggaebass

I’m learning this at the moment, it’s a pretty tricky one because as usual Robbie changes things around throughout, that’s the challenge

I was trying to think back and I had a compilation cassette that had Axel F Everybody wants to rule the world and 19 by Paul hardcastle , this was the Top 40 best-selling songs of 1985, a few good ones in there

I was well into Gregory isaacs Night Nurse then and was working in central London , walkman was on every single day , I had the one with the bass slider on the front, I literally wore a few cassettes out then

Yeah he’s a great player and he’s got some nice basses, the 2 I like is the Left 1975 Right 1960

I listened to an album today that I wasn’t familiar with, it’s by the Mighty Travellers and called Black Black Minds , it was out around 1977 and when I looked deeper it was sly and Robbie backing some of the songs , this was around the time of the Aggrovators and this one is backed by The High Times Band apparently , and Chris Meredith on bass I believe

You did great there Dave, I had the notes down once but fell to pieces with it up to speed

Your cover of rhythm stick is so good, I’ve attempted that many times but failed 😁

For me it’s Earl Falconer, he’s a great bass player but certainty since UB40 parted ways they are dreadful, I’ve seen them many times and been backstage ,Signing Off is a great album and their best work ever

Nice looking, I don’t think it will be there long

Hi Raymond https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/22-items-wanted-no-trades/

Just driving through Stratford with some israel vibration playing, man up

Welcome Pawel

Cool, has yours got the little tiny triangle in the far top right, that should get my attachments in the list

How about this one, there’s a little drop down list in the corner

And in an interview guy says the jazz used to belong to John Entwistle, very rare colour too

I too have had hundreds ,and still buying them ,although I’m more selective now ,but one bass I pick up the most and won’t be parting with any time soon is my 71 precision , it just does everything I need and is a warm sounding one so it’s great for reggae and I dabble a bit in Motown, doesn’t stop me eyeing up a 64 P though 😁

I’ve got quite a few fenders with the threaded saddles, I’ve never gone wider than 19-20mm , I’d say you could go slightly more without the string moving

Definitely, you have to draw the line somewhere 😬

New mixed one out from Johnny Clarke - dub my world, the more I listen to it the more I like it

He’s got a YouTube channel, you could maybe message him on there, I’ll see if I can find it jezza

Have you spoken to John
