  1. I particularly liked the old footage of , stir it up and lively up yourself
  2. That’s a great one Leonard ☝️
  3. I started playing around 1978 and the music then was pretty heavy dub , what I would call roots/ rockers reggae, then around 82-83 the the music mellowed a bit to more dance hall style when clubs like ,The Four Aces in Dalston started playing more by people like, Barrington levy, Gregory Isaacs, Don Carlos, Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, And also quite a bit of lovers rock was being played more by people like, Jean Adebambo, Louisa Mark, Janet Kay, Carroll Thompson . Then around the mid 80s the more heavy dub was only being played in a few clubs I went to, and bands like, Aswad, Dennis Brown , ub40 were pretty popular. Synth Basslines wasn’t heard of in my youth, I know what you’re saying though Nail Soup, what is considered dancehall now isn’t what I knew it as , and I’ve noticed a few older reggae artists like Lutan Fyah, are using a lot more electronics in their music now , and I must admit I do flip past a lot of the new electronic reggae 🙂
  4. I had quite a big problem with them once with one of my jazzes, and I wasn’t really getting anywhere with the store manager, so I contacted their customer service department, and a few days later the store manager called me and sorted it out straight away, I think it’s worth doing Dov, 🙂
  5. After sales is important for me, if a company is quick to take my money they should be quick to rectify any problems, or they wouldn’t get my custom again.
  6. Yeah, I saw that one foxy, it had quite a bit of damage to the finish otherwise I would have been tempted 🙂
  7. I’m subscribed to Bionic Dub and this was put on yesterday, it sounds familiar but I’m not sure where from, it’s by sound dimension, who were the in-house band in studio one in the sixties
  8. Great ones durhamboy, I don’t know much about the Dubbeez, I looked them up once when I saw this a few years ago and I really liked the bass playing by Olivia Davina
  9. Welcome saul, there’s a few reggae threads here that might interest you, there’s some great tunes there ☝️
  10. A nice song here from Bob Marley you don’t hear very often
  11. I’ve had flats since the 80s , and I seem to remember labella using orange silks at one point, but I think they changed to red later, that looks like a cool bass , can I see some more pics 🙂
  12. I bought these quite a long time ago on ped’s recommendation, and they are great, they are nice and light and the padding is very comfortable 🙂
  13. For any Bob Marley fans there’s a program on BBC2 on Saturday night at 21.45 called , When Bob Marley came to Britain ☝️
  14. Very nice bassfan, I’m looking for a 62RI at the moment but I got a bit of marcus gas when I saw that 😁. I like the colour, enjoy your bass 👍👍
  15. That’s a beautiful bass cobretti, I really hope it gets returned to you 🙂
  16. Certainly different, I’ve never seen one before
  17. Oak has a very nice grain and is very hard wearing, and it has a fairly neutral colour so it matches most colour schemes
  18. I had Sandberg build me a custom tt from ash with an ebony fretboard, they were spot on with their work and time estimate, I would definitely have another
  19. I’ve got this type, which saves carrying 2 although I don’t use it very often now
  20. A marking gauge, nice job si, the colour and grain looks like mahogany
  21. Do you have a friend nearby who can bid for you 🙂
