Reggaebass

Truth and rights, don chandlers playing is sweet

Same here, I’ve spent hours even days researching certain songs, like where they were recorded and who the musicians were, it was a fairly small community of artists and musicians back then so lots of the same people played on many different recordings, there were only about 10 main bass players in the early days too, and different studios had their own house band, you can go down quite a rabbit hole sometimes and it leads you many other things , I love the history

Yeah, I think the original was recorded in studio one in the early 70s

I looked these up once before, I think I saw them on TB , not really my thing but they look very cool

Very much Tandro, Truth and Rights is quite a classic, and I really like the Richie spice tune, so many reggae/dub riddims have been used for many years, I’ve heard quite a few on house and jungle mixes that my boys listen to, I find Riddimguide and whosampled good fun to go through sometimes, John Holt - Police In Helicopter is one that’s been used a lot, like here, it’s one of my favourite Basslines to play

Yeah, similar headstock and truss rod cover

Thanks Jo that’s good to know , everything I’ve heard about them has been good

That’s a beauty

I still have my vinyl collection starting from around 1977 so I like flipping them sometimes, I don’t use Spotify much as I find it quite limited, there’s a lot on YouTube now, even some of the rare recordings so I use that a lot

It’s a long walk for me 😁

That’s great, I really like the early jazzes, they sound amazing

Looking good

That’s good rob , how does the neckplate serial look, 370000-520000

From left 02-jazz 01-rosewood 43-week 3-year 3-weekday that’s how I understand it

Yes, pretty special , well done Guy

Never heard of that myself

I’m normally into my early 80s roots and dub but I was going through The Ethiopians tracks and here’s a couple I really liked , Good Ambition has a nice Bassline We’ve probably had this before but it’s worth another play Engine 54

I’d like to wish you all the best Paolo in whatever you do, and Hopefully you’ll pop in now and again

Top job Ander, looking really good

I haven’t seen that myself but hopefully you’re right, my wallet is waiting 😁

True, very helpful guys there, and there’s a bit of wiggle room but still pricey I think

Ah yeah, I enquired about that one yesterday, doesn’t have the case but it’s quite nice

I remember seeing these in the shops, looks in good shape

Taking you back with this one from Johnny Clarke
