Welcome Simon

Wow great selection, especially like that 64P

With matching headstock of course

hi Ainsley, yes I did slightly, I saw a tip to use an old roundwound string as a sort of file by sliding it up and down to widen the slot, it worked a treat and didn’t take much

That’s not good especially after waiting so long, hope you get it sorted soon

I’m probably stating the obvious but has it been made the opposite way round Rob

Thinking about it I could probably take the A ,D and G string off and still be ok 😁

You just have to have a bit of Dennis Brown now and again , originally out around 1977

I don’t know a lot of their stuff and what I have liked has been because of the bass, but really enjoyed listening to this, especially the second track, wonderful Bassline and playing

Looks really great jezza, nice find, congrats

Ive got one jazz strung permanently like that, I like that tuning

I was going through quite a few tunes by Hopeton James last night who passed away just before Christmas, he was big in the 80s and had such a wonderful voice, and I found this song which I’d forgotten about, it’s the moonlight lover riddim which is up there with my favourites, here’s a few to enjoy And the original And my favourite which is Barrington Levy from the Shaolin Temple album, which is one of his best imo, worth a listen if you haven’t already heard it, Flabba on bass on this

That great, wonderful album miles , i never tire of listening to that one and I bought it in 1978 when I was still in school 😁

Great question and not an easy one, there’s so many but 2 that spring to mind are, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner-Black Uhuru, Robbie Shakespeare at his best I’d say, And rather than pick one particular album I’ll say Legend , which is a compilation album by Bob Marley and the Wailers, every bassline by Aston Barrett was just perfect
