I’m sure some of you have already seen this, but if your interested in sly and Robbie this is probably one of the best interviews out there, lots of really good information
-
That’s a beauty mr d 😍
-
Great selection there SumOne, I’m also big Johnny Osborne fan , especially when backed by the Roots Radics, Flabba lays down some of those basslines like no one else
-
Nice one, thanks ped, I thought I’d only seen them on jazzes , perhaps they used them on all their basses at that time
-
Ah , thanks walshy
-
Didn’t they only do the lollipop tuners for a year or so and only on the jazzes
-
Andy Baxter has added a lovely 65 jazz to his collection with no binding and matching headstock too, this is pretty much my ideal jazz https://www.andybaxterbass.com/products/1965-fender-jazz-olympic-white

This is one I’ll never tire of listening to, Family man’s Bassline is superb
-
I had a similar thing when I asked about the Nux mighty plug pro, within minutes someone messaged me offering to lend me their one, they wasn’t selling it and said I could try it for as long as I wanted and post it back when done, such a heartwarming offer from a fellow basschatter

I’ve got the Lindo ldg, it’s got a nice sound acoustically and plugged in but I find the body a bit big, it’s the main reason I don’t really use it , I would definitely have a different one but I would want the slimline type, something worth thinking about
-
Number 3 , I only use flats and don’t change them, but when I do get a new bass I fit my strings one off and one on at a time
-
Definitely this joe, I’ve been studying his playing for years and he had a certain style and talent which is pretty hard if not impossible to replicate, a true legend , I’ve read many times that he also started Robbie Shakespeare on his bass journey , what a mentor to have
-
I’ve been following Aston Barrett from a very early time, probably around 1977 ,and in my opinion he was one of the best bass players in the world , definitely in my top 3, without his arrangements the wailers music wouldn’t be the same , so much articulation and feel, quite a legend and he will be sadly missed, RIP family man

You’re right, I nearly did 🙂

What are you listening to right now?

What a great setup, easy to transport and I imagine it sounds immense, wouldn’t mind trying something like this with my big baby
-
This is a must listen to for any Matumbi fans like me
-
Cream for me
-
If it was me I wouldn’t want a bass from him now, I’d just want my money back and move on to an alternative builder , if there’s something wrong with it you’re back to square one, I’d buy another bass
-
Thanks for this stew, strangely as soon as I clicked on it I thought it sounded like Robbie Shakespeare, and it is sly and Robbie , great one and I’ll look further into it
-
Thanks UD, I don’t think I’ve heard that before, here’s another man next door
-
I have heard of Letts but never played one, the bit I don’t get is the reply to Eddie, if I’ve got it right ,he knows he still owes a bass or money, how can you carry on knowing this, if I owed £5 or 5k I would do everything to pay that off, even if it means borrowing from family or friends, it would be on my conscience , he needs to sort this
-
So sorry to hear this NFF, deepest condolences, Tony
-
Wow, thanks Rich, more than double what the estimate was, I was expecting around 20k
