Reggaebass

Yeah, not one on there I think I could listen to

Guarantee you will like this one John , I’ve seen it twice and gonna watch it again

If anyone is a fan of Sean this is a definite must to watch, he’s the only non reggae bassist I follow, it’s fairly long but well worth the time, I’m not familiar with the tracks but he breaks down how he played the basslines and the chord structures , such great knowledge

Cool, be interesting to see what they have to say and how much it goes up for

Would the Ampeg micro CL recently listed be any good stevie

Looks like you got a nice low action there too

I saw that one this morning, looks in very good condition

Ah thanks, i was just looking on labella site for the lengths

Hi Tom, I only use flats and have never had a string snap, I think the combination as above of cutting down long scale and the smaller peg is the answer, maybe try putting out a wanted ad for the shorter strings and measure to the silks so you know your ok , short scale flats do come up now and again, all mine are long or you could have had some

It’s certainly a lovely one, and if it’s all original from new with the case it’ll sell easily, even if it’s not it’ll still sell, mine is very slightly earlier looking at the serial number, they really are superb basses, good luck sir

Aren’t you tempted to get it yourself , at a family discount of course 😁

That’s great 😂, I’ve got a 71 exactly the same

Ah Just seen your picture, very nice

Love this 😁, I’d say that’s a 66 ish case

Welcome Ahlyx

I’m with you on that one, for me anything by Springsteen 😬

I remember a song The power of love by jennifer rush and frankie goes to Hollywood being played on those on repeat most of the night

Thanks t-h I’ll have a look into that

yeah I know what you mean 😁, it doesn’t really come across as country , I think it’s more that some reggae artists were influenced by it at some point, check this out

Oh my, I came across this from a friend on another reggae group, the track To Be Rich is just amazing, it’s country/dub style backed by members of Dub Syndicate and the Roots Radics , it sounds like Flabba on bass to me but not sure, what’s not to like

I don’t think it’s silly at all, I’d be the same , I’m no expert but if the truss rod is at its maximum and the neck is straight then what happens if you wanted to try something like labella jamerson flats which are high tension, there would be no more adjustment, I play with a really low action and I’m guessing that wouldn’t work, you also have to think about if you sold it on in the future, just my thoughts

That must have come and gone really quickly, I didn’t even see that listed

Thanks very much Rob 👍
