Is that the white label one? Don’t think it’s on YT

Isn’t the original one by Freddie McGregor on the album Bobby Bobylon which was released in 1979

Assuming not only are they scamming but avoiding reverb fees

Welcome Stone

Really nice , looks in great condition, good find

King tubby day today

Zombie thread 🧟, I’ve played a couple, great Basslines and not the easiest I’d say

Very cool T-h, things like that don’t happen very often, good times

Was going through some of King Sounds tracks and I like this version of the heptones song Book of Rules, great voice and bass

That’s really good going Chris, well done, I’d struggle with that myself

I’ve had custom shop fenders and they are amazing instruments, don’t know where you get the badly bolted together bit, they have gone up in price considerably and I wouldn’t now pay 5k for one, I’d rather go vintage for that money

Really liking this, Aston Familyman Barrett on bass & Junior Marvin on guitar, Aston Barrett Jr on drums

A bit of Bob

Hi SumOne , there’s some info on here about the releases you might find interesting, lots of other links to look through too at the top, I like the one on the early labels https://www.downbeat-special.co.uk/truthsandrights.html

Thanks miles, yes it’s definitely positive if it reaches the younger audience, the cinema was fairly full and many young people there, I already knew the history of Bob from when I first bought Exodus around 77 but it was really good to see it in a film, I thought they did a great job of his life story, good to see a few shots of studio one too, I especially liked the part with the Wailing Wailers doing Simmer Down I’d say it’s definitely worth a watch if you haven’t already seen it

Well I’m off to see ,one love the Marley film, shall report back later

It was just to try it really, some of my flats are 20 or so years old and sound great, I wouldn’t say it’s taken them to that point but definitely takes the edge off

Just reviving this one as I tried it today, I fitted a new set of labella Low tension flats to one of my jazzes and played it for a while, then I took them off to clean the fretboard and adjust the truss rod, I wiped the strings with Vaseline and cleaned them with a clean cloth and refitted, you can’t feel the Vaseline at all and the difference in tone is considerably noticeable, a much warmer sound but not too dull, it’s what I was looking for so really pleased

I like that one too, Thanks very much for that information eloisa , much appreciated

Welcome Marco

Came across this by chance and I like the groove, it’s by Dope Lemon , who I’ve never heard of before

Pretty sure we’ve had this before but I really enjoyed hearing it today on one of the reggae stations I listen to , quite a classic
