Reggaebass

A bit more Norris Reid this morning , great Bassline

A friend of mine runs 2 big baby ll cabs from one amp successfully for big reggae gig’s, but I’m not sure what amp he’s using at the moment, I don’t think you need 2 amps

I’ve got 2 jazzes with daddario black tapes, really great strings, they are super smooth when played in

Welcome carol 👍 , it’s a friendly community here, if there’s any info you need to find out about your basses I’m sure someone here will be able to help 🙂

Can’t help you with the maths, I’ve got one bb ll , but 2 barefaced big baby’s is immense 👍

Yeah, that as well 👍😁

The wood ones definitely sound better

I’ve seen some really nice jazzes on there but never bought any, I think you still have to pay customs on top , one I was looking at had this in the description International Buyers - Please Note: Import duties. taxes. and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying

These are the ones I’ve always been advised to use, but I have also made my own in the joinery shop

Starting the day with some Norris Reid

Thanks, that makes sense 👍

How does adding a shim increase the break angle at the bridge, or am I reading this wrong 🙂

Nice sound on this Misty in Roots video, with the bass player using a Rickenbacker , you don’t see many reggae players using them

This came up on my YouTube, nice Basslines, gimme gimme gimme looks tricky

Definitely 😉

It’s the castrol GTX model 😁

I think it’s been leaning on the woodburner

I quite like a bit of relic but the back of that neck is awful

Just watching TOTP 1984 and frankie goes to Hollywood’s bassist is playing a Wal

Jazz isn’t something I play but I would say flats would go well, they aren’t as dull as some say they are, just a bit warmer sounding

The 75 onward 3 bolt fender neck plate also had the micro tilt screw, and hasn’t the Marcus miller got one

Here’s some of my work if anyone wants one done 😁

I play with a really low action and I’ve shimmed many basses successfully, it works perfectly if done correctly

Time for some Barrington
