I’ve been working my way through this one for a while now and getting on surprisingly well, I’ve been learning by ear which I prefer, I’m liking the way this video is laid out

Top one, I totally forgot about Beenie man

I’ve been listening to some early yellowman this week which I haven’t done in years, was going to go with one of his then remembered this, slower riddim but I think it’ll pass the dancehall I’ve still got many of my Barrington Levy albums, Shaolin Temple is my favourite but this is quite a classic

Oh yeah, looking great stew , you got flats on it?

Yeah, I use the Gibson pump one too

I don’t know much about pino but I think the custom shop is based on a 62, I nearly bought one

Cool, I’ll check it out

Thanks Pow, it looks great

I’ve always liked those, I only use Ampeg myself, do they have a fan and and are they quiet for home use

Looks great, looking forward to seeing what you do

I’m listening to some Bitty McLean today, Robbie Shakespeare on bass

All time classic and a great Bassline to play , nice one

The serial number for a 79 would be on the headstock starting S9 , but it doesn’t look the right shape to me for a fender, I’m guessing the decal has been added

Listening to some Freddie McKay tonight, great riddim and dub at 3.18

Yeah, it just looks wrong to me, I’d steer clear myself

As I understand it all 70s precisions have the truss rod adjustment at the heel, the jazz had the bullet at the headstock, I haven’t got FB but it did let me see the picture briefly, hasn’t that one got 21 frets?

Great stuff, you can definitely go down a rabbit hole with Flabba, he’s played on so many tracks it’s unbelievable, there’s not many reggae artists that the Roots Radics haven’t backed at some time or other (especially Gregory Isaacs) , definitely in my top 3 favourite players, love a bit of Tubby too, one of the first albums I bought was King ,Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown, and I think I’ve still got it somewhere , it’s great to give that a listen every now and again

Looks good, just wondering..have you got long arms 😁

For anyone who likes Jamerson you might enjoy this video, some nice playing and good info

Great one mcnach, a little claim to fame that I have is that I met jimmy and all the band at the after party at the O2, such a great bunch of guys and very humble , wonderful musicians
