Yeah ,was just looking at the prices too Lozz, I thought they were USA when I saw the truss rod adjustment at the heel

Really like that and I do like it when a P bass sounds slightly darker

A bit of Slim Smith this morning

This album by Horace Martin is well worth a listen, Horace has been around for a long time but you don’t really hear much about him these days ,apparently he’s popular in Mexico, nice vocals and some great Basslines

Hi Rob, I know you’re a long way from me or you would be more than welcome to borrow mine, my experience is they really are a wonderful sounding amp especially with a P bass with flats and very versatile , mine is silent which is great for home use so no hum or noise, volume wise I’ve never had it up full but I’ve had it just over half way and it’s fairly loud , that’s with a Barefaced big baby ll, but I don’t know how much more it would give, Ive got a feeling that it might not be loud enough for you, I know there’s a few here that do use them in their band they might be able to advise more on the volume , maybe @Beer of the Bass, @Beedster

Love this, there’s no stopping him now, I always like to see young aspiring bass players, best of luck to you

It is quite a wonderful album and mixed by Errol Thompson, I remember reading about it a long time back and it was mentioned that he was experimenting with various sounds to add into the recordings, it’s not until you listen closely you can hear a doorbell at the end of the track chapter 3, there’s also ringing telephones and water sounds, and yes the basslines are superb, from memory another album I’ve still got which I bought from around the time is Fat Man Ridim Section – Bald Head Justice which is Robbie again and Errol Thompson, similar bass tone I think , I actually bought the album not knowing much about it at the time and was totally blown away with the basslines, I was just starting out on bass and learning them on the old cassette tape 😁, another album I must dig out one day

Hi D D and welcome, can I suggest you give us a bit more information as to what your trying to do and we can definitely help you

Really great albums, thanks for posting this , I haven’t heard them in a long time, I bought chapter 3 many years ago and it’s still in my collection somewhere in the loft, pretty sure Robbie Shakespeare was on bass

Many basses I’ve bought have had rounds already fitted and I’ve always given them a try, it’s not so much the sound I don’t like it’s the rough feel of them, I just prefer the silky smoothness of worn in flats ,and of course the tone, probably the rounds that stayed on the longest which was about a week was the ones that came on my new custom Sandberg, they are quite a nice string

Massive difference imo, they really do look the business, very nice

Yeah great one there thanks sumone, heavy bassline there I’m liking that, linval has always been one of my favourite artists and I follow Roberto , when they got together it was a perfect match I think, I’ve messaged roberto many times and he’s always replied, really nice guy

Looks like this one has reappeared with a slight increase , sold for £2300.00

Congrats pete, it looks really great
