    I’ve recently discovered The Petersens, primarily a bluegrass band, but they stray into mainstream, I suppose via country.

    If you rely on their lineup before listening to them, it’s a bit ‘cheesy’ - 3 sisters, one brother, one friend, and Mom on double bass!  But they are seriously good vocalists and musicians, with one of the best Dobro players I’ve ever heard.

    Give them a try!

    They come up on my Youtube feed now and then..... pretty good, and nice to have mum at the back!

    Yeah, a little cheesy, but not too much!

    That looks cool, Do you think that’s something like Dub FX uses

    Seems like Dub FXis/are using their gear to make some new music rather than dub u pan existing track..... but I could (as ever) be wrong......

    Talking of Lover's Rock, just did a quick search of the thread and this hasn't appeared yet!! Another huge South London track.

     

    Excuse me Sir, I think you'll find that this was already posted on page 4 (ahem, by you!) - The Reggae Thread Police

     

    Only joking xD- I was looking back to see if my next post was a duplicate and noticed this one!

    You can get your own back if my next one is actually a dupe!! 

    Great song though, love it..... a bit outside my vocal range mind you!

    I know that bass 'showboating' is most definitely not everyone's thing

    I fall into that category I'm afraid :sad:........ and found the "thumb and face" combo (see highlighted pic below) a bit of a warning sign ;)!

    However, with an open mind, I will listen to it tonight and let you know how I found it:)!

    (Can't listen now - post lockdown we have a "no streaming during working hours" rule in effect)

    Easy to overlook Bruce Foxton's contribution in terms of vocals as well as bass to the Jam... this Smash The Clock album from 2016 is pretty easy to like.

    Yeah, his bass contribution is (rightly) well recognized, but his backing vox were great too.

    This song is pretty good, prefer it to the vast majority of Weller solo material

    Why don't we issue tabs on here ?

    If you want some opinions about the pros and cons of Tab versus Sheet music, then I've seen a couple of, ahem, enthusiastic threads about this in General Discussion.

    so just to clarify, I choose either of the two music scores which are both different, guess what key it is in 'cos it may or may not be the first note, pick a note to work out, follow the five bar gate thingy to the left to see if it's got a flat or a sharp on it, check the actual note hasn't got another flat or sharp or neutral next to it to change the first one, then play the note one semitone lower.

    It's so obvious I don't know why I had to ask.

    I guess if it seems obvious now then it means you've learned how to do it!

    my comment was supposed to be funny.

    Unless I missed a joke.... in which case ignore my comment above xD!

  8. I'm not really a gear enthusiast :o, only own budget gear, and don't have an upgrade path in mind.

    So off the top of my head and within the rules:

    Bass: I'd get a top of the range Fender Precision

    Amp: I'd get an easy to carry Markbass combo or somesuch.

     

    In real life, as some others have said, I would prioritise aquiring a sound-proof music making space of my own. Then fill it with my existing gear plus some budget stuff to fill the gaps ........... drum kit (acoustic if the soundproofing is good enough, other wise mesh electronic), Lap top,a few mics, small budget valve guitar combo - all aimed at home recording, or having people round for a jam.

    But probably would not care much about getting any top of the range stuff (at least that what's I think now.... but once the money is burning a hole in my pocket, who knows?!)

    It wasn’t cheap, about £70-80 I think, but that’s peanuts in the grand scheme of things music wise. Check out some of the YouTube videos and you will get a sense of what they are like. The top end is like a normal harp but the bottom end has a unique resonant sound that is just gorgeous.

    I guess it racks up a bit if you wanted a set of say seven for different keys.

    Then again, as you say, it's similar in total to what is often paid for a bass etc

    I don't know what you'd call it actually.

    The marketing tagline could include

    "putting the A$$ into BASS"

    "something for your bottom end"

    "putting your roots through your glutes"
