If you've got a spare hour check this out. Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespear with Ernest Ranglin and Tyrone Downie, live in Finland in 2012. It's an excellent performance, and a nice bit of Sunday afternoon dub bliss for ya :) ...

Robbie favours a Jazz these days, like Fams - sometimes a stack knob.

This is an older gig, worth a look if you haven't seen it:

Robbie was originally a Jazz Bass player. He was playing one when I saw him with Black Uhuru in the early '80's , so it seems that he must have reverted to his old favourite.

Robbie started on Aston Barrett's Hofner violin bass before moving on to a Fender Jazz.
He played a Steinberger and then PRS for a few years, before coming back to the Jazz bass.
Both he and Familyman prefer the Fender Jazz over all other basses and they've both tried a few.

It's all about the lickin' space :D
