Reggaebass

I tend to dip in and out of Alborosie tunes , I used to play a lot of his basslines, I’m liking this and we all recognise the bassline

Hi Brian a couple of things I noticed and I could be wrong 😁 , block inlays were introduced in mid 66, looks like a 67/68 but the tuners have the small R which are early 70s ( my 71 doesn’t have it on the tuners) , pickguard looks like a reissue one at first glance , neck is very clean for the year, nice jazz

Can’t be sure but it looks like a refinish to me, and unless I’ve missed it there isn’t a description , is there

Isn’t it the same one that’s for sale on here

Cheers I’ll check that out, I’ve found it on Spotify

Thanks for that, I did come across them once but I can’t remember when, and I couldn’t find anything about them really, this might have been the track I heard

What a great tune, that bassline

New one from Don Chandler, great video as always

Definitely tegs, it’s not a great taste to be honest and not really one to drink without a mixer, captain Morgan with a dash of blackcurrant was nicer for me

I used to dabble with this one, it certainly packs a punch

Good question, I never played well if I was drinking, but a friend of mine plays really good after a drink, I think it relaxes him, it’s no 🥃 for me but lots of reggae

Some Delroy Wilson this morning

Cheers, I don’t know that much about him really, really good discovering some new tunes

I’ve been going through quite a bit of Marlon Asher lately, can’t say I like it all but he’s got some really good tracks, here’s a few I saved .

So it’s just the body ,and that’s refinished 😁

Welcome Doc

Yeah that would work Paul because in 73 they added the rout for the wires, 72 and earlier you would have to de solder as the wires went through the body

Yeah I looked into his P bass, it’s a 73 with Bartolini pickups and a badass bridge, he talks a bit about it at 7.15, great video to watch and such a great player

Hi MNY, if you have a look at the Vintage fenders thread, I think it’s about page 146 onwards there’s some great suggestions, tort chat 😁

Looking at the changes you want to make the only things that would alter it from being all original is the soldering would be disturbed which isn’t a big deal, definitely keep the parts, especially the pickups, pots and screws etc and bag them in your case or somewhere safe , you can refit them or include them if ever you wanted to sell it, just my opinion but it’s worth spending a bit more on a nice tort guard, it makes a big difference , good luck and it’s a lovely 78

Maybe a bit of superglue and see if it does the job

I was going through the backing bands on Roots Archives looking at the Roots Radics , check out how many they backed, it’s amazing, also came across this

Nice one I’ll check that out , Roots Archives is great for searching and info, it’s back up and running now, hopefully the link will work, https://www.roots-archives.com/artist/215

That’s a great one ud, pretty sure it’s from the album world war lll, Flabba holt on bass there with the Roots Radics
