Hi all - wondering if you guys could help me with some basic stuff.
I'm typically into my soul/funk style bass playing, and feel comfortable doing grooves in many tempos with passing notes and fills and the like. Thing is, my current band have decided to do a reprise of a chorus in a reggae style; at which point I realised I have NO experience of playing/listening to reggae at all!
If anyone could show me any good tracks for bass in reggae music, or tell me the typical DO's/DON'Ts in that style of bass playing, or even direct me to some videos of typical grooves/patterns, that'd be awesome!
Cheers!
Daaave.

We do a cover of this, it's the same pattern throughout, the only difference is the pausing between notes
Current gear:

* Peavey Mark III 400 Series, TC Electronics RH450, "Nearly Bassman" homebrew valve head, H/H VS bassamp

Awesome, that's great man. So arpeggiated chords with some notes of the scale thrown in stepwise are ok?

That is something that could work, yes.
The notes you don't play are more important than those you do!
