Strange one here, it’s not for me but the frets above the 12th have been removed, what would the reason for that be https://reverb.com/uk/item/39514595-vintage-1972-fender-jazz-bass-natural-ohsc

Ooh yeah, that could be the one t-h👍, you always come to the rescue 😁

I quite often go down a rabbit hole with some tracks, a while back I was playing this by Al Campbell , and I’d played it years ago to a different song, it’s the classic pretty looks riddim, there’s so many versions, I was trying to find out the original

Great Bassline BoomTing , I know the deltones did it and I’ve got it on a sly and Robbie dub album, I’ll have to dig it out ☝️

Linval Thompson’s vocals really do it for me, great track here and a good one to play

That’s great value dave 👍

I did the same once, never again, they just fell apart , I don’t need that many so I just spend the extra on good ones and I don’t have to worry

I did wonder if you had got it, nice one, it looks great 👍

For anyone who likes Dean Martin , sky arts tonight 23.00 , I’ve set to record

Loving that ☝️

I’ve had some interesting discussions on a few reggae forums about who played the bass on certain tracks on Bob Marley albums, i said it was Aston Barrett, but some disagreed and said it was Val Douglas, I know val has played with many famous reggae artists at some point or another , but none could show me any proof. he also played bass for the Skatalites.

Featuring Bob Marley and the wailers I believe

I was just trying to think , and the earliest track that I remember being played at family parties was this

Just changed the aged white pickguard for a worn black one on my P, it looks so much better and it was a good fit

Yeah, I started playing as a kid in 1977, and most of my friends parents listened to a lot of ska and Motown

This train isn’t stopping 😁

Wow, I remember that from a long time back ☝️

Great info there t/h, I like the Keith & tex version, it’s got a heavy Bassline, I’ve just been playing it

Can I ask how you did the top side edge of the fretboard without it staining the neck, as I’d like to try this

Thanks, that’s the one, I’ve heard a few versions but that’s the one ☝️1967 wow

I met big youth many times back in the day and I was listening to a few of his tracks the other day @taunton-hobbit, you normally help me out here, do you recognise the song in the background

Thanks very much w/w 👍

That’s brilliant lonestar, it still works you know, a friend of mine took it off the wall a few years ago and plugged it in, the jack was really crackly, but it plays 😁

That’s a nice jazz 👍
