    Etsy UK. Looks like plenty of choice, vintage and repro.

    Sorry, can any of our drummers on here explain the difficulty as I have never encountered a drummer who has thought this was a problem?

    Vitamin Qué?

    Thanks - hadn't spotted that!

    That's much better. Yes, the posthumous hit hardly sounds like a reggae track. Thanks Tony 👍

    Is there an original version of Marley's Iron Lion Zion without all the posthumous production and overdubs? Heard it on the radio today and was amazed by how awful I thought it sounded. Would love to hear Bob's original if it exists.

    I've got to pull some fence posts and large planks of wood from the canal in Tipton tomorrow - any bids from our budding luthiers?
  8. Mykesbass
    You removed it 😎

    Yes, much as I've tried, my left hand always wants to be on a fiver.

    Had this in a trade two years ago, and fabulous as it is, the poor thing hasn't been played, as no matter how many times I think I need another bass I ALWAYS go back to my Shuker, so this has been noodled on a couple of times and then just remained in a case. I believe the see through cherry over mahogany was a limited run, and it looks really great. Previous owner, @BaggyMan has meticulously added a vinyl carbon fibre look wrap over the tort pickguard. I think it looks right on this bass but will easily peel off. There are a couple of tiny nobbles on the headstock, and a couple of faint surface scratches on the back - the one highlighting this was taken with a macro lens. Strung with barely played DR Hi-Beams for extra sparkle - my plan was to have something the complete opposite to my main 5 string, flatwound fretless. Collection from Stourbridge, or could meet up in West Midlands. Don't want to courier as I don't have a spare hard case. Spec from original post: CONSTRUCTION: bolt-on SCALE: 34" PICKUPS: Leo Fender†-designed G&L MFD™ Magnetic Field Design humbucker made in Fullerton, California NECK WOOD: Hard-Rock Maple w/ Maple fingerboard NECK WIDTH AT NUT: 1 1/2" NECK RADIUS: 12" NECK PROFILE: medium C FRETS: 21 medium jumbo, nickel TUNING KEYS: Traditional open-back, BRIDGE: Leo Fender-designed G&L Saddle-Lock ELECTRONICS: 3-way series/split/parallel mini toggle, volume, tone weight: 3.8Kgs

    Only on here could 34 be considered youth 😎

    Not so much just three reviews but they all look like they have been written by a daytime TV funeral insurance advertising copywriter.

    That's a great song to remember him by. Much better tribute than his biggest hit.

    Loved them on my fretless 5 string precision but the low B went dead before the rest of the set. Gone for Chromes to get just a little more sparkle that can always be rolled off. Tension was fine, really didn't find the hard work.

    Passed through Handsworth today for the first time. Can't believe how much this album currently costs on either CD or vinyl! Island Records reissue it NOW please!

    A few years ago I had the pleasure of working on an album by The Sounds of Blackness. They came over to perform at the Royal Festival Hall as part of the London Jazz Festival. They performed as a 16 piece on that stage, but are, on their biggest gigs a 60 piece outfit. We had to set up a TV appearance and a live radio show while they were here. I asked Gary Hines, their MD (and a fabulous human being) what they could do. He showed me his carry on bag that accompanied hime everywhere. In it he had backing tracks so they could perform from 4 singers up to 30+. He also had the tracks on CD, DAT and standard cassette. As @Beedster says, it depends on genre. It certainly worked very well in this case.

    Now that is a great thread resurrection! Great persistence @Coilte

    Hi David, If you haven't already seen it, there was an In Memorium posted with some lovely comments from members who knew your dad (sadly I never made his acquaintance). Take care of falling foul of the Marketplace rules on here - they have been put in place mainly to stop scammers, and to help fund the site. I'm tagging @Rich who is one of the moderators who can hopefully advise you before posting anything that will breach these rules. Sorry for your loss, and best wishes for the task in hand.

    I reckon the Easy Star Allstars could nail it 😎
  21. Mykesbass
    I like the idea, but I think it's the tempo that doesn't work for me. The original has a fabulous laid back vibe, this is a little bit rushed.
  22. Mykesbass
    Not sure if I like this interpretation but I think it's worth sharing on here. Make up your own minds 😎
  23. Mykesbass
    Sue Ryder P Bass anyone...
  24. Mykesbass
    That's a lot of Glamtastic luthier built bass for the money. Enjoy it 🤩

    or this post to be more accurate.
